Strong Army Medicine, Time. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,922169-2,00.html (Dec. 08, 1980) Remark by Evren at a 1980 meeting of the Journalists' Association of Turkey.

Let me say that in Turkey, we do not feel fatigued by our support of the Western allies because we know that by supporting the allies, we may all continue to reap the blessings of freedom.”
