Organized by Türkiye’s Youth and Sports Ministry, participants marched five kilometers from Kocadere village to Conkbayiri, the site where the Ottoman Empire’s 57th Regiment fought to the last soldier. The march began at dawn after morning prayers, with participants consuming wheat soup—the same final meal given to the regiment before battle. Participants were applied henna on their heads as a symbol of sacrifice for the nation. The 1915 Canakkale campaign marked a turning point in World War I, as Ottoman forces repelled an Allied invasion aimed at capturing Istanbul. The Allied offensive, launched on March 18—now commemorated as Canakkale Naval Victory Day—was met with fierce resistance, including mine-laden waters that devastated their fleets. On April 25, 1915, Allied troops, including forces from Britain, France, Australia, and New Zealand, landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in an attempt to control the strategic Canakkale Strait. However, Ottoman forces, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, mounted a determined defense, inflicting heavy casualties. The campaign ended in Allied withdrawal months later, with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides. The victory bolstered Turkish morale and became a symbol of national resilience, paving the way for the War of Independence (1919-1922) and the founding of the Republic of Türkiye in 1923. April 25 is also observed as ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, honoring their soldiers who fought and died in Gallipoli. Ceremonies were held in Türkiye and abroad, reflecting on the shared history and sacrifice.
