After a brief moment of frustration and rightful anger towards the opposition leaders for not taking preventative measures against possible vote-fraudery, the fire of hope inside the hearts of citizens of Turkey has been reignited. Every single opposition party in the country has united against the AKP. Liberals, social democrats, socialists, nationalists and right-wing conservatives all have convinced one another to work together until Erdogan is gone. Two hundred and thirty thousand people have volunteered to watch the ballots. The most famous YouTubers and streamers are doing charity streams, so that the money that's been collected can be given to those who can't afford to travel across cities to vote. Turks, Kurds, Circassians and Alevis are fighting side by side. We've come together as one people to get rid of the dictator whom we've been tortured by for 21 years. We are going to defeat Erdogan! We are going to be free!

"Turkish Youth! Your first duty is to preserve and to defend Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic forever. This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and abroad, who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic, you must not hesitate to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before doing your duty. These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavorable. The enemies conspiring against your independence and your Republic may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and trickery, all the fortresses of your beloved motherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every corner of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore, they may identify personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. Your fellow citizens may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted. Youth of Turkey’s future, even in such circumstances, it is your duty to save Turkish Independence and the Republic! You will find the strength you need within yourself!"

-Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
