Quotes 

• Nurettin Pasha : [after the victory of Halit Pasha, taking Greek army and its commanders as prisoners in Mudanya]  I think we also should attack Canakkale and Istanbul as soon as possible to get rid of English.

  Gen. Ismet Pasa : Let me tell something to you, Pasha. Ottoman Empire was collapsed just because of these improperly considered ambitions.

  Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa : Definitely we will advance to Canakkale and Istanbul but not to defeat them. We will force the allieds, especially English to ask for peace. If English are dare to fight, let them shoot first.

• Gen. Ismet Pasa : Is there something, Asim Bey?

  Officer Asim Bey : Yes Pasha.

  Gen. Ismet Pasa : What?

  Officer Asim Bey : Opponents didn't join the elections. The period of the Supreme Military Command haven't been extended because of the absence of majority.

  Gen. Ismet Pasa : o the supreme military commandment of Mustafa Kemal has ended. He hadn't even asked for it. The assembly which he encouraged to be founded, demanded it. Has it been given? No. His nation which he reunited under the flag of independence, the nation he rallied with their lives and wealth... He has beaten an army which was a tool of imperialism. He saved everything that is holly. If they were human beings they would eternally be thankful for these services. Ah come on, there can't be politics at the cost of homeland!
