To mark the 18 March Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Memorial Day, a meaningful conference was organized in collaboration between Tarsus University and Çağ University. Hosted by Tarsus University and held in the “Martyr First Lieutenant Ozan Olgu Köreke Conference Hall,” the conference titled “The Great Victory of the Turks” addressed the spirit of Çanakkale and the historical significance of the victory.

The program, organized to commemorate the 111th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli, began with a moment of silence and the playing of the Turkish National Anthem. Delivering the opening address at the conference, Tarsus University Rector Prof. Dr. Ali Özen addressed the participants, noting that Çanakkale symbolizes the rebirth of a nation from its ashes and emphasizing that it is one of the most brilliant victories to have left an indelible mark on both Turkish and world history. Prof. Dr. Özen stated, “March 18 is the day our nation’s victory was proclaimed and the day of defeat for the enemy coming from the sea. The words of our Eternal Commander-in-Chief, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, ‘I command you to die,’ embody the very spirit immortalized in our National Anthem. On this meaningful occasion, we commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all our martyrs with mercy, gratitude, and appreciation. May their souls rest in peace,” he said, concluding his speech. 

Prof. Dr. Murat Koç, Rector of Çağ University, who participated in the conference as a speaker, touched upon the historical significance of the Battle of Gallipoli and its role in the Turkish nation’s struggle for independence. In his speech, Prof. Dr. Koç drew a historical connection between the Trojan War and the Battle of Gallipoli, noting that the defense of Anatolian lands has been a struggle spanning thousands of years. He emphasized that Gallipoli is not merely an “impregnable” legend, but also a great example of willpower and self-sacrifice that grew in the trenches.
At the conclusion of the program, which saw strong participation from both universities, Tarsus University Rector Prof. Dr. Ali Özen thanked Çağ University Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Koç for his valuable presentations and contributions and presented him with a plaque in commemoration of the day.
