Those words from Ataturk show such compassion for all involved.<br /><br />Ness your comment could almost have been written by my daughter who was in Turkey and Gallipoli last year for Anzac Day. She went to the Dawn Service and did a reading later that morning at the Lone Pine Service. That trip was without a doubt one of the most amazing trips of her lifetime. I know she hopes to travel back to Turkey again, such was her love of the Country and the Turkish people. I recall she loved how she was told how beautiful she was daily by the salesman etc, even though they were trying to sell her stuff, it was good for her ego ;) AngAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-79504851971783422112013-04-25T14:01:53.607+10:002013-04-25T14:01:53.607+10:00Lovely post Fiona - thank you for sharing :)Lovely post Fiona - thank you for sharing :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848137973036581423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-73993611615693893422013-04-25T09:29:16.017+10:002013-04-25T09:29:16.017+10:00What a lovely post.

I love Turkey and the Turkish people. That they let their enemy come every year and commemorate, that Ataturk was so wise, that there was respect between then Turkish and Anzac soldiers even when they were battling each other. <br />Lest we forget.
