This year, Turkey is celebrating the 104th anniversary of this victory over Allied forces and the invading Greek troops, which is recognized as a national holiday in Turkey. The occasion is also commemorated in Turkish embassies and diplomatic missions abroad.
During the event, Colonel Sinan Devrim Oral emphasized the importance of cooperation between Turkey and Morocco, expressing hopes for enhanced relations between the two nations in the coming years.
