Groundbreaking ceremony for bridge over Dardanelles to take place on March 18
The groundbreaking ceremony for the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is slated to take place on March 18, the 102nd anniversary of the Çanakkale War.
Turkey marks what it calls the Çanakkale War - known in English as the Battle of Gallipoli - every year on March 18, when Ottoman forces repelled an Allied World War I assault on the Dardanelles in 1915.
