WALD Chairman of the Executive Board shared a written announcement regarding July 15 Democracy and National Unification Day. Chairman Duman; “July 15 Democracy and National Unification Day as World Academy for Local Governments and Democracy (WALD) it is our most fundamental mission to support the modernisation and development of democracy in Turkey.

On the night of the July 15, it is not a coincidence that the coupists that have long have their eyes on our future and freedom attacked Turkish Grand National Assembly. TGNA that built on the principle of “sovereignty unconditional belongs to the nation” resisted against the treacherous attacks and continued to serve the Turkish nation. As Turkey, with our faith in democracy we will continue in a stronger and more determinant way. 

Considering the unification and solidarity demonstrated by Turkish nation, we will not be forgetting July 15 and having it forgotten. We commemorate our martyrs with mercy and gratitude, who sacrificed their lives bravely while resisting this treacherous coup attempt and also our wounded veterans with appreciation” said.
