Türkiye is celebrating Victory Day today, the anniversary of the 1922 Battle of Dumlupinar, which led to the defeat of the Greek army and the expulsion of foreign invaders from Anatolia, Turanews.kz reports.
The Great Offensive, as it is also known, was a turning point in Turkish history. It marked the beginning of the liberation of Türkiye from foreign rule and the establishment of the modern Turkish Republic.
The offensive was led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye. Ataturk was a brilliant military strategist and a charismatic leader. He rallied the Turkish people to fight for their independence, and he led them to victory against the Greek army.
The Battle of Dumlupinar was a decisive victory for the Turkish army. The Greek army was routed, and the Turkish forces advanced to the Mediterranean Sea, liberating all of Anatolia from foreign occupation.
Victory Day is a national holiday in Türkiye. It is a day to celebrate the country’s independence and to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for it.
In a speech to the nation, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Victory Day is a reminder of the importance of national unity and determination. He said that Türkiye will never forget the sacrifices of its war heroes, and that it will continue to defend its independence and sovereignty.
The Turkish people are proud of their country’s history and its achievements. They are grateful to the heroes who fought for their independence, and they are determined to uphold the values of democracy and freedom that were won at such a high cost.
