July 15 was a historic resistance with our martyrs, veterans and millions of citizens. This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our nation's will, democracy and independence. As HAK İŞ, 15 July is not only a historical turning point in which the determination to defend our nation's freedom, national will and democratic values was declared. "We see it as a historical responsibility to transfer the spirit of July to future generations, strengthen the awareness of democracy and keep the consciousness of national unity alive," he said. - DIYARBAKIR
