Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs' Day

The 18th of March is known in Turkey as Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs' Day. We celebrate Çanakkale Victory, which sets an example to the whole world with its sprit of unity and solidarity, and remember our martyrs with gratitude who sacrificed their lives for freedom.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was a defender of the idea of “Peace at home and in the world.” He explained his ideals about the responsibilities of humankind to each other by expressing;

"Humankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body. We must never say, 'What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?' If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness.”
