The cadet spirit inside me will never die. Even if my rank is taken from my shoulder, I will always live this spirit in my heart.
In this action, I have absolutely no intention, and cannot have any intention, to open the Turkish Armed Forces, to which I am deeply attached, to discussion, to damage its reputation, or to adopt a divisive attitude.
