Yeşilçay posted the video of her reading the address on her social media account, “I wanted to remind our ancestor's address to the youth again. Because it is a very powerful appeal not only to young people but to ALL of us. I also added its meaning in today's Turkish as subtitles. Let's understand exactly what it wants to say. We need to look at it again and again from time to time.”.
After TRT canceled the October 29 celebrations due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, Yeşilçay's video was met with great interest and appreciation on social media.
