Kut

Turkey on April 29 commemorated the 104th anniversary of the historic Ottoman military victory over British forces during World War I.

Turkey's vice president on April 29 commemorated 104th anniversary of the historic Ottoman army victory over British forces during the World War I.

"I commemorate all our martyrs with respect and mercy on the 104th anniversary of Kut al-Amara victory, one of the epics of our glorious army full of historical victories," Fuat Oktay said on Twitter.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has praised an Ottoman army victory over British forces a century ago, during World War I, as he refuted a history approach that took War of Independence as the starting point of modern Turkey.

This is good, dear public. As if we haven't exhausted everything that we could possibly become polarized about, we are now moving quickly to the point where we will polarize even national victories and national holidays.
