The Foreword of New Turkey
For Epilogue
Turkish Original
Çanakkale, Çağlar üzre destanların özüdür.
Çanakkale, Yeni Türkiye’nin önsözüdür.
English Translation
Çanakkale, the essence of the legends of all ages.
The flags wave, in the speed of gentle breeze and forceful gales.
Eternity, the bread and salt of heroes.
The sky that sleeps here, and awakes, the eye of life.
They all reach Ankara from the plains, those who remain, the traces of the fallen.
The sea the sea the mountain the mountain, all written.
Çanakkale, the foreword of New Turkey.
(Trans. R. Akçelik)
