Ottoman military band

Russia's Red Army Choir shot a video at home playing notes from the Ottoman military band Mehter in support of Turkey's fight with the novel coronavirus.

The video was directed by the choir's art director, Gen. Gennadiy Sachenyuk.

The video was shared by the Red Army Choir's social media accounts with a note: "With love and respect to the heroic Turkish nation."

Members of the Turkish Armed Forces' Ottoman military band, called "Mehter" in Turkish, performed traditional ceremonial music in New York's iconic Times Square on June 8.

Turkey's top court has refused an appeal by the families of the 34 people who were killed by a Turkish jet airstrike on the Iraq border in late 2011 on procedural grounds, around a year-and-a-half after the families filed their individual complaints to the court.

The Turkish Armed Forces have formed a new ceremonial brigade, dressed as Ottoman soldiers, to attend events marking the 562nd anniversary of the Turks? conquest of Istanbul, upon the instructions of President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an.

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an was welcomed during a ceremony on April 10 with the "New Turkey Anthem" performed by an Ottoman military band, which praised him as "Our Leader."
