The clip, in which the General Directorate of Security, Gendarmerie General Command, AFAD, Coast Guard Command and Directorate of Immigration Management personnel take part, begins with the ball of children playing football rolling down the cliff.
In the clip, in which the song “Türkiye is Here” composed by the gendarmerie personnel is used, the process of delivering the football ball found by AFAD search and rescue personnel to the children is explained.
After the AFAD personnel punt, the football ball comes to the dolphin police, coast guard personnel, Immigration Management border team and gendarmerie traffic personnel, respectively.
In the shot taken by the Gendarmerie traffic personnel, the ball finally reaches the Minister of Internal Affairs Çiftçi.
Minister Çiftçi said to the children who came running to him: “Come on, our children, the whole of Türkiye is with you.” He gives the ball by saying.
The image of children continuing to play football merges with the players of the National Football Team.
“BEHIND THEM IS A TURKEY WITH ONE HEART”
Minister Çiftçi, who shared the clip on his social media account, made the following evaluation:
“The road does not end with a defeat. Because this nation knows that great victories are won with faith, effort and hearts that do not give up until the last moment. We could not get the result we wanted against Australia, but we did not lose our hope nor our faith in our children. Because we are a nation that does not lose hope, fights until the end and knows how to overcome every difficulty in unity. Now, we have a very important fight ahead of us. Perhaps the most critical threshold of a World Cup dream. Our children who will take the field against Paraguay are not alone. Because behind them there are only thousands of people in the stadiums.” “There is not just our fans, but a great Türkiye that has united as one with its prayers, love and support.”
Stating that every member of the ministry units stands by the National Football Team today with the same belief as they protect the dreams of children, Çiftçi said, “Because we know that protecting the dream of a child means protecting the future of Türkiye. Come on, our children. This time, you are going on the field not just for a match, but to realize the hope and dream of a nation. Fight until the last whistle. The effort is from us, Tevfik is from God. May God not let you touch your feet with a stone. May it increase your strength and determination, let every shot you take be a goal. And remember, there is a whole Turkey behind you that rejoices with you, grieves with you and prays for you. Come on, our children, all of Turkey is with you.” he said.
The road does not end with a defeat… Because this nation knows that; Great victories are won with faith, effort and hearts that do not give up until the last moment.
