Prime Minister Julia Gillard spoke to the people of Australia gathered in the peninsula for dawn services in Gallipoli and highlighted that this is the exact spot where the country faced the problem of forged national identity in 1915. Referring to the entire nation, she said that the Anzac legend belongs to all Australians whether they natives or migrants. She also appreciated the state of Turkey for helping them through their tough time.
She said, “We remember what the Anzacs did in war and for what they did to shape our nation in peace. In this place, they taught us to regard Australia and nowhere else as home. Not just those who trace their origins to the early settlers but those like me who are migrants and who freely embrace the whole of the Australian story as their own. For Indigenous Australians, whose own wartime valor was a profound expression of the love they felt for the ancient land. And for Turkish-Australians who have not one but two heroic stories to tell their children.”
Referring to the assistance provided by the Turkish nation, PM highlighted that Turkey bore a loss of 130,000 Turkey men in the war only because of siding with Australia. She said that the sacrifice and the care the Turkish nation showed was remarkable.
