I am sure that everyone knows what a country is or what a land is. An ordinary person will describe them differently or a nationalist will describe them differently. It doesn’t matter where you are from. It matters how you evaluate them.
According to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (it is actually native Turkish principle), a land becomes a country when there is anybody to sacrifice themselves for the land. When the public is ready to defend where they live, they make their land a country. A country needs love and care. Everybody should love and care their country. The land is a piece of soil, but it becomes sacred when it becomes a country.
Always Atatürk.
