30 Agustos Zafer Bayraminiz Kutlu Olsun.

We respectfully remember all those who lost their lives on August 30th, 1922. Victory Day in Turkey commemorates the key Turkish victory in the Battle of Dumlupınar (August 26-30, 1922). The outcome of the battle, which took place in Kütahya province in western Turkey, determined the overall outcome of the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923). Victory Day was first celebrated in only a few cities in Turkey – such as Ankara, Izmir and Afyonkarahisar – on August 30, 1923. It became a national holiday in 1935.
