anzak

1.dunya savasi’nda canakkale cephesi’nde savastigimiz avustralya ve yeni zelanda kolordusu.

oyle acinacak insanlardir ki, nerede, kiminle, ve neden savasacaklarini bilmeden gemilere konduktan sonra tatli su kurnazligi yapan az bucuk tirsmis ingiliz askerinin turk askerinin onune attigi insanlardir.
tarihlerinde daha once sadece esek, at, dingo, ya da yerlilerle savasmis bu kadar cocugu turk askerinin onune surmenin ustelik de ulke savunmasindaki turk askerinin onune surmenin sorumlulugunu akil ve izan sahibi kimse alamamistir. ve bu cocukcagizlar tarihin gordugu en kahraman orduya ancak canakkale sehitliginde katilabilmislerdir.

australian and new zealand army corps.

savastigimiz halde nefret etmedigimiz, kizamadigimiz, andigimiz ordu.

bizle savastiklari halde bizden nefret etmeyen askerler.
bugun torunlari bile bizi, dedelerimiz sayesinde, sevgi ve saygi ile aniyor. inanmayan google’da anzac yazip gelen sitelere baksin ve forumlari kurcalasin.

(...) for five days the dead and wounded of both sides lay in no-mans land. an armistice was arranged to allow both sides to bury their dead. it is claimed that the mutual respect of anzac for turk and turk for anzac grew from this battle and subsequent armistice.(...)

the following article was written by one of the veterans for an anzac day ceremony in 1993;

"i have been fortunate to travel to turkey on six occasions to visit gallipoli on anzac day. there is no more touching dawn service than the one conducted in the beach cemetery at anzac cove. one of the great pleasures of the trip is mixing with the turkish people. the turks are very conservative and formal; they dress almost invariably in suits and with their dark hair and shaggy mustaches appear very solemn. but when you explain you are australian their faces light up with wonderful smiles, and you are overwhelmed with hospitality.

(...)this formidable reputation of the turkish soldier must account in part for the fact that turkey, in a volatile part of the world and surrounded by potential enemies, stayed free of war until its un contingent served in korea. their performance there confirmed their reputation and established that in thirty years of peace they had lost nothing of their fighting spirit.(...)

i’ve never in all my life heard anyone speak of the turkish defenders with anything other than respect and praise and where anyone might get the idea that anzac day is about australians slagging off turks is beyond me.

(...) anzac day has never been about claiming the turks attacked the anzacs. in fact the turks have always been respected by the anzacs and the australian and new zealand people. my grandfather fought at gallipoli and he used to say what a feared and respected enemy the turks were. do some research before you jump on a public forum and speak rubbish.

i looked across at the only turkish veteran present as mr anderson spoke about how the british generals had offered the anzacs gas masks and they’d refused them, saying ‘we wont need them, the turks wont use gas, we trust them.’ they were right the turks didn’t use gas. that old turk was smiling so proudly it was a sight i will never forget. he later laid a wreath on behalf of the turkish people and as he laid the wreath the crowd gave him a standing ovation, he wept.

ingiliz ordusu içinde avrupa ve ortadoğu da savaşmışlardır.

anzak sözcüğü, avustralya ve yeni zelanda kolordusu (australian and new zealand army corps) kelimelerinin baş harflerinden meydana gelmiş bir kısaltma olan anzac kelimesinin türkçe okunuşudur.

ilgili olarak atatürk’ün 1934’te gönderdiği buram buram insanlık, insan sevgisi barış kokan mesajı;

"bu memlekette kanlarını döken kahramanlar;

burada bir dost ülkenin topraklarındasınız. huzur ve sükun içinde uyuyunuz. siz mehmetçiklerle yan yana, koyun koyunasınız. uzak diyarlardan evlatlarını harbe gönderen analar: göz yaşlarınızı dindiriniz.

evlatlarınız bizim bağrımızdadır. huzur içindedirler ve huzur içinde rahat rahat uyuyacaklardır. onlar, bu topraklarda canlarını verdikten sonra artık bizim de evlatlarımız olmuşlardır."
