Turkey on Wednesday commemorated the 104th anniversary of the historic Ottoman military victory over British forces during World War I.
“We commemorate the 104th anniversary of the Kut al-Amara victory, which our nation engraved in our glorious history in golden letters with an epic struggle despite all harsh conditions and limited circumstances," President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Twitter.
The battle of Kut al-Amara took place during WWI between the Ottoman army and British-Indian forces in the town of Kut, which is now in modern Iraq.
