TCDD Transportation Inc. The General Directorate organized various events on the high-speed train traveling between Ankara-Istanbul-Ankara on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the 109 March Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs' Memorial Day.
On the anniversary of the Çanakkale Naval Victory, actor Ahmet Yenilmez exhibited his "Çanakkale" themed mobile game.
Making evaluations about his play, Yenilmez said, “Due to the anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory, I am exhibiting the play separately in each wagon. “This is a first in Turkey and probably a first in the world.” he said.
Reminding that trains were frequently used at that time, Yenilmez said, “Kınalı Kuzular also went to Çanakkale by black trains 109 years ago. Today, we are telling the stories of the henna lambs that went to Çanakkale 109 years ago on high-speed trains with the 'TCDD Taşımacılık' logo. The then General Directorate of State Railways has provided incredible benefits, from arms shipments to transporting the wounded, in Çanakkale, Tripoli, Sarıkamış and the War of Independence since Sultan Abdülhamit. The wagons were turned into hospitals and the injured were treated. "On this occasion, I wish mercy to all our martyrs, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades in arms." he said.
Şinasi Kazancıoğlu, Deputy General Manager of TCDD Transportation, stated that the Turkish nation is aware of the meaning of the March 18 Çanakkale Victory and said, “We just wanted to give a little reminder. "We are trying to explain that if Çanakkale had been passed, we would not have been able to pass these places today, we would not have come here." said.
Bread and grape compote, which were the sustenance of our soldiers during the Gallipoli War, were offered to the passengers by TCDD Transportation.
Passengers who encountered a special show surprise and treat on the train on the anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory experienced emotional moments.
