Pakistan Başbakanı İmran Han'ın Türk Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'a hain 15 Temmuz 2016 darbesinin 5. yıldönümü için gönderdiği mesaj

Pakistan Hükümeti ve halkı adına ve kendi adıma 'Demokrasi ve Milli Birlik Gününde' kardeş Türkiye Hükümeti ve halkıyla dayanışma duygularımı yeniden teyit etmek isterim.

Tarih beş yıl önce bugün Türk halkının nasıl karakteristik direncini ve yiğitliğini gösterip Türkiye'de barış ve istikrarı ve aynı zamanda demokratik kurumlarını hedef almak isteyenleri yendiğini anacaktır.  Bugün aynı zamanda tüm Pakistan ulusunun tek bir ses olup Türkiye'de demokrasiyi ve refaha giden yolu baltalamak isteyenlerin girişimlerine karşı geldiği gündür.

Bugün Pakistan halkının Türk halkına katılıp şehitlerini onurlandırdığı ve ailelerine destek olduğu gündür.

Pakistan ve Türkiye arasındaki kardeşçe ve çok boyutlu ilişkilerin eşi benzeri yoktur ve zamanın sınamasından geçmiştir.  Pakistan halkı ve Hükümeti her zaman olduğu gibi Türkiye Hükümeti halkına ulusal güvenlik, barış ve refah arayışında güçlü desteklerini yinelemektedir ve her zaman onlarla paylaştığı bu hedeflere varması için yanlarında durmaya devam edecektir.

Dualarımız ve en iyi dileklerimiz barışa ve refaha ve en büyük zaferlere yürüyüşünüz sırasında sizlerle ve Türk halkıyla beraberdir. 

Text of the message of Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan addressed to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the 5th anniversary of failed 15 July 2016 coup.

On behalf of the Government and people of Pakistan, and on my own behalf, I would like to reaffirm our solidarity with the brotherly people and Government of Turkey on the occasion of ‘Democracy and National Unity Day.’

History will remember how five years ago, on this day, the Turkish people displayed their characteristic resilience and gallantry to defy those who wanted to target Turkey’s peace and stability as well as its democratic institutions. It was also the day when the entire Pakistani nation spoke with one voice against the attempt to undermine Turkey’s democracy and progress towards prosperity.

Today the people of Pakistan join the people of Turkey in honouring the martyrs and supporting their families.  

The historic, fraternal and multi-dimensional relations between Pakistan and Turkey are without parallel and have withstood the test of time. The people and the Government of Pakistan reiterate their strong support for the Government and the people of Turkey in their quest for national security, peace and prosperity, and as always, will continue to stand by them towards the achievement of these shared goals

Our prayers and best wishes are with you and the people of Turkey in your march towards peace and prosperity, and ever greater glory.
