Çanakkale is one of the brightest examples of the Turkish nation's love for homeland, independence, and courage. The struggle of a handful of homeland children against the invading enemy, without any hesitation, under seemingly impossible conditions, has been written in history with golden letters."

Rector Kibar emphasized that Çanakkale is not only a past victory but also an inspiration for the future, saying, "Çanakkale is the expression of a nation that resists even in overwhelming weakness, changing the course of history with a heroic struggle. On the 109th anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory, our duty is to preserve our national unity and solidarity, to uphold the indivisible integrity of our homeland, to keep the sacred memory of our martyrs alive, and to be worthy of the legacy they left us. On this important day, I remember all our martyrs with mercy and our veterans with gratitude."
