ISTANBUL

The Presidential Communications Directorate is hosting an exhibition to commemorate the March 18 Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs' Memorial Day on Monday.

Curated by Seyit Ahmet Sılay to capture the essence of the war, the exhibition will showcase authentic objects belonging to the times of the Gallipoli Campaign that led to the groundbreaking national victory.
