Deputy Rector Prof. Dr. Almaz Ibraev stated that the Çanakkale Victory holds deep significance not only for Türkiye but also for the entire Turkic World and the Islamic world, saying: “We congratulate our Turkish brothers on this great victory and hope that similar suffering will never occur again.”

Referring to the historical consequences of the victory, he added: “If the Çanakkale Victory had not been achieved, it might not be possible to speak of Türkiye’s current position today. This could also have led our relations to a very different course. Therefore, commemorating Çanakkale and honoring those who were martyred is of great importance. Çanakkale is not only a victory but also a symbol of unity, solidarity, and sacrifice. Drawing lessons from this legacy is a shared responsibility for all of us.”

Prof. Dr. A艧谋k: “Çanakkale Will Never be Passed!”
