The Turkic Council on Sunday hailed Turkey’s Victory Day on the momentous 99th anniversary of the resounding defeat of occupying Greek armies at the hands of Turks in the Battle of Dumlupinar in 1922
The victory at the Battle of Dumlupinar constituted the basis of the foundation of Turkey, the council’s secretary-general, Baghdad Amreyev, said in a statement.
“With its growing economy, strong democracy, commitment to fundamental human values and visionary foreign policy, Turkey has continued to be a source of inspiration for other nations in its region and beyond,” he added.
Amreyev also commemorated Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of Turkey, and all the martyrs and veterans of the Turkish Independence War and wished peace, unity and solidarity to the entire Turkic World.
