Overview
About the event
Turkey Victory Day is an annual holiday celebrated in Turkey on August 30. Also known as Turkish Armed Forces Day, this holiday commemorates the Turkish victory over the Greeks in the 1922 Battle of Dumlup��nar. After the First World War in 1918, the victorious Allied Powers divided the destroyed Ottoman Empire. As a result, when the �??Treaty of S??vres�?? was inscribed on August 10, 1920, the �??Triple Entente�?? gave Greece ownership of some territories in Turkey. These regions included Western Anatolia, Imbros (now G??k??eada), Tenedos, and Eastern Thrace (Smyrna). The nationalist Turks consequently rejected this incursion.
