Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attends a ceremony in Samsun to mark the 100th anniversary of the Turkey’s War of Independence
Ataturk defeated enemies on May 19, 1919 ignoring the mandate of the Allies, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on the Commemoration of Ataturk, Youth and Sports Day.Turkey has always relied on its people and Allah in its independence struggle like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of Turkish Republic, did 100 years ago, he said.
"Although its name, flag and geography may have changed, we have always been one state," he said, adding "From the middle of Europe to the depths of Africa, our ancestors have ruled over a vast geography." May 19 is a milestone in Turkish history as it is the day when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk arrived in the city of Samsun from Istanbul to organise the war that saw the remnants of the Ottoman Empire transformed into modern Turkey four years later.
Massive celebrations were held across Turkey to mark the event, including Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and all foreign representations.
