Today is a special day in Turkey.
18 March is known in Turkey as Canakkale Victory and Martyr’s Day. It’s an important day, and this year it is the 103rd anniversary of Turkey’s defeat of Allied battleships who tried to take control of the Dardanelles, shelling Turkish forts along both the Asian and European shores of the Dardanelles in Canakkale. During this attack, the town of Canakkale, particularly its Greek quarter suffered extensive damage.
This day was a critical turning point in the nation building process of the Republic of Turkey and every year we stop to remember the incredible fearlessness and commitment of those soldiers who fought for Turkey’s freedom.
