Turkish Navy vessels, including the flagship TCG Anadolu, sailed through the Istanbul Strait on August 30 to mark the 104th anniversary of Victory Day, commemorating the decisive victory in Türkiye’s War of Independence.

Victory Day marks the Turkish victory over Greek forces in the final major battle of the war in western Anatolia in 1922 and is dedicated to the Turkish Armed Forces.

Turkish forces fought the Battle of Dumlupınar from August 26 to 30 in what is now Türkiye’s Kütahya province, decisively defeating the invading Greek army.

By the end of 1922, foreign forces had been expelled from territories that would collectively become the Republic of Türkiye one year later."
