"Armies of the Turkish Grand National Assembly!
In the Great Pitched Battle of Afyonkarahisar-Dumlupınar, you destroyed the main elements of a cruel and proud army in an unbelievably short time. You prove that you are worthy of the sacrifices of our great and noble nation. The great Turkish nation, which is our owner, is right to be sure of its future. I closely observe and follow your dexterity and sacrifices on the battlefields. I will perform my duty to show (guide, mediate) the appreciation of our nation for you, sequentially (consecutively) and continuously (continuously).
I ordered the Front Command to make proposals (offers) to the Commander-in-Chief.
I wish all my friends to move forward, taking into account that there will be more pitched battles in Anatolia, and to continue to show everyone's strength (power of mind), bravery, menâbî-i celâdet (resources of his heroism) and help to ibzâle (competitively) with competition. I request.
armies! Your first destination is the Mediterranean. Forward!
M.Kemal, Chairman of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Commander-in-Chief
