Duran emphasized the July 15 resistance and the consciousness of democracy as one of the most valuable legacies to be passed on to future generations, highlighting the unity and brotherhood of Turkey's 86 million citizens. He described the July 15 event as a victory for democracy and noted that the FETÖ network, responsible for the attempted coup, has been decisively defeated through determined efforts. Duran also linked the goal of a terror-free Turkey to both security policies and social peace. Vice President Yılmaz stated that the current state of a terror-free Turkey is a result of the post-July 15 developments and described this objective as part of a broader transformation process.
