Our Esteemed Member celebrated the 101st anniversary of the liberation of Tarsus from enemy occupation on 27 December by participating in the "Regional Agenda" program broadcast live by TRT Çukurova Radio between 10:00 and 13:00 every day.
He participated as a guest in the live broadcast to talk about the epic of December 27, where the people of Tarsus fought with great heroism. Cankut said, "Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha defeated the British and the Arabs as a result of the 'Battle of Annexation' on 25-26 October 1918, just before the Armistice of Mudros. In this way, the advance of the British into Anatolia was stopped. Our Great Leader During the "Lightning Armies" period of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as commander, the foundations of the National Struggle were laid in the region. I commemorate our martyrs, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with mercy, and our veterans with respect," he said.
Dr. Ayhan Cankut also conveyed the historical information about the formation of the Kuva-yı Milliye in the region, the Battles of Pozantı, the period when the enemies were taken prisoner in the "Karboğazı" and the liberation of the region from the French occupation with the Ankara Agreement of 20 October 1921.
We congratulate him and thank him for the valuable information he has given.
