‘THERE ARE PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE SOLVED’

We visited their works, paintings and products. We listened to their songs and poems. We were proud and happy with all of them. Our state and government are making new rights for disabled people and regulations regarding the solution of new problems every day. It reassures our citizens. In this sense, there is a lot of work to be done, there are also regulations. Those regulations need to be implemented. Especially for vision.” “There is a lot of work to be done, such as drawing the roads in public buildings for the disabled or making arrangements on the roads. Hopefully, these will be solved together. It is very proud for our brothers to do representative military service, especially for their mothers and fathers. As public officials and the Governor of the province, I watch with great pride as our citizens do their military service together with our gendarmerie. I wish them good health and well-being.”

Discharge certificates were given to the disabled people doing representative military service by Governor Soytürk and the protocol members. Before the ceremony, the Provincial Gendarmerie Command Commando Company organized demonstrations. In the demonstration, during the hostage rescue operation, a sniper took a position on high ground with his camouflage that made him unnoticeable in the rural area, while other commandos broke the door of the house where the hostage was kept with a battering ram, entered the address and rescued the hostage. Other demonstrations of the gendarmerie with trained dog elements were also watched with interest.
