The 90th anniversary of the unfortunate Anglo-French operation in the
Dardanelles to take Constantinople over is marked this year. Despite
the fact that the Allied Powers first conquered the Dardanelles and
later on Istanbul after the Mudras Armistice in October of 1918,
Turkey organized official celebration on occasion of the anniversary.
This year’s celebrations included an exhibition at the Hall of Honor
of Mejlis entitled “The Dardanelles Battle in Retrospect of 90 Years”.
The British ambassador to Turkey honored the exhibition with his presence.
Byulent Ar?nc, chairman of Mejlis, made a speech opening the
exhibition. He emphasized the importance of celebrating Dardanelle
Battle’s 90th anniversary then touched on the Armenian Genocide
saying: “Armenians dream of marking the anniversary of an event that
they characterize as “genocide”. We set off against their groundless
claims the greatest truth, which is the Dardanelles. The sons of noble
Turkish nation who shared the last drop of water with the enemy
solders could never perpetuate a genocide”.
