Turkey never ceases to surprise me with its wonderful scenery, people, history, history, kitchen and much more.. It’s an amazing country. It would take years to see only a fraction of what the country offers.. They have everything… Thanks to Mick and Trudie for sharing the information from their Turkey excursions. I understand why this lovely couple has been living in this mesmerizing, breathtakingly beautiful country..

Perhaps some very important destinations in the Canakkale region are not even shown in this video. The islands of Gokceada and Bozcaada, the Kazdaglari National Park with its incredible nature, the town of Geyikli, the ancient port and city of Assos, the town of Ezine, famous for its cheese, and many other places we should have seen in this video. I hope to show these places in another video on this channel. Greetings from the Netherlands

I feel sorry for the Anzac soldiers. For the British, for the wars they fought with the Turks, whom they were not enemies of in these lands. Thousands of Australians, New Zealanders and even Indians died in this land they did not recognize. Turks have never lost in defense of their homeland, so they should be respected. Even the founding leader Atatürk said to the families of the martyred Anzac soldiers whose graves are in Çanakkale, "Don't worry, they are our children now." he said

There hasn't been any incident at the war memorials, either. ''There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. - M.K. Ataturk''

Letter from Atatürk to Anzacs: “Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives …You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.” A response by an Anzac’s mother to Atatürk’s words: “The warmth of your words eased our sorrow for our sons who vanished in Gallipoli, and our tears ended. Your words are a consolation to me as a mother. Now we are sure that our sons rest in peace in their eternal rest. If your Excellency accepts, we would like to call you ‘Ata’, too. Because what you have said at the graves of our sons could only be said by their own fathers. In the name of all mothers, our respects to the Great Ata who embraced our children with the love of a father.” Source : Turkish canberra embassy

The real meaning of the text is as follows; You got excited about the First World War and joined the war from miles away. However, it was a war that was none of your business. If you thought that you would destroy yourself by seeing yourself as a hero and despising us and thinking of a WAR that would be guaranteed to be won, I hope that you will not make such a mistake again and that you will not bear the curse of all people by participating in wars that do not concern you. Don't let distances make you and your country think safe, maybe we will meet one day. Have a nice day! This is a letter about the memory of Turkish history.

As an Australian we only ever really hear about Anzac cove and it's importance. I would love to go there one day and see all the other memorials, especially since my partner is Turkish.

He cried when he told me his grandpa's story how he died in Gallipoli, and made me cry too. You bustard, if you read my this message, find me, bcuz I miss our conversations.

Mustafa Kemal Pasha was just a colonel commanding 19th infantry reserve division during Gallipoli campaign. Because his division was reserve he couldn't even engage unless there was an order from his commanders. After entente landings began he waited 6 hours for an order but it never came, Ottoman high command was in chaos. Nobody expected entente forces to land at such rough terrain against steep hills at all sides so they were thinking those landings could be decoys. But soon Kemal Pasha learned ANZAC vanguard reached Chunuk bair which is one of highest hills in Gallipoli and overlooking entire region, it would be very costly or even impossible to capture it back if Anzacs could fortify it. So he illegally ordered his 19th division to climb Chunuk bair from eastern side and repel Anzacs back into lower ground, he also illegally took control units from other divisions in the area giving them charge orders as well. It was 19th division's 57th infantry regiment which reached Chunuk bair first, simultaneously with three ANZAC regiments. Kemal Pasha knowing the severity of situation gave his famous die order to 57th infantry regiment: ''I'm not ordering you to attack, I'm ordering you to die! In the time which passes until we die, other troops and commanders can take our place” 57th infantry regiment followed the order and engaged in a bloody hand to hand combat for control of the hill. They managed to repel Anzacs back into lower ground but it was extremely costly, within only 2 hours 80% of the regiment were dead or wounded. The regiment could be reinforced and continued fighting both in Gallipoli and other fronts. After several hours more units reached Chunuk bair including 19th division's 72th and 77th infantry regiments and began fortifying the hill against further ANZAC attacks. During 8 months long campaign Anzacs could never reach those hills again and got stuck in lower ground surrounded by steep hills at all sides, in fact ANZAC commander requested their evacuation at the end of first day after they were repelled back. However British high command refused it, claiming if Turks could see a single healthy soldier leaving they would charge and slaughter them all. It is true such large scale evacuations were always quite risky but after 8 months of hopeless fighting Anzacs were finally evacuated while Turks didn't charge and kill them.. Because Kemal Pasha and his 19th reserve division saved those very important hills, Ottoman high command had to ignore his illegal actions and instead promote him, giving him command of entire Anzac front. On entente perspective Gallipoli campaign was indeed for nothing but at least it made Ataturk a national hero and perhaps opened the way for establishment of Turkey so it wasn't for nothing entirely.

15:17 The point that i m trying not to cry.. Very impressive and emotional. We Turks always believe in Peace. ''Peace at home, peace in the world'' M.K. ATATURK. ( 20 April 1931)

As a grandkid of a Çanakkale veteran (wounded with a shrapnel stuck in his cheek), I'm thankful for the homage you paid to the place...

I am from Russia, and have studied this battle for many years and am a fan of these events, in September my dream came true, I went to ANZAC Cove and saw the battlefields, while walking there I listened to Australian music “The Last ANZAC” and was worried

Thank you for this great video. It was moving to watch the war memorials. My grandfather fought in the Çanakkale wars and luckily survived. We should always give peace a chance ✌️

I was there a month ago, the whole peninsula is a fricking war museum. Such an astonishing place with incredible views!

As a Turkish,Whenever you spoke Turkish with other people there,I felt like you were a Turk too,Your Turkish is better than some people I know

Gentelmen's War.. As a Turk, I have great respect for you, guys. Unfortunately, history has written that the lives of innocents have always been in the hands of politicians and high-ranking officials. I offer my greetings from Aydın/Turkey. Anzac/Turk Brothers!

I 've enjoyed watching the video, lot of interesting things to see, pleasant music and great editing. It's like being on holiday. 😃👍

Ayaklarınıza sağlık,Türkiye nin en önemli bolgesi olan Çanakkale yi ziyaret ettiğiniz için çok mutlu oldum..Sağolun.

i would also like to see 'Turgut Reis Tabyası' in your video Uncle Mick. It is one of the least known and most magnificent places in Çanakkale. Thx for the video.

On this occasion, I say to the Anzac soldiers who fought for no reason, I will spare their mothers. 🇹🇷 Purely out of curiosity, I ask because you come here every year, is this your only war in history? If this is your only war, it's really funny that you come here every year, I'm telling you from a country with a history.

Çanakkale has a very special place in the world, it is a sacred city where the children of the world sleep side by side and all countries respect this situation. The presentation was very nice and I was very touched.

Such a beautiful place and such a horrible battle where thousands young men lost their lives .

I spent just over a week in the area touring in my motorhome. Great people so welcoming especially at the Boomerang Bar who allowed me to park on their land overlooking the sea.

Thanks for another great video. Your video is the 1st time I've ever seen anything about the Turkish war memorials. It was very moving to hear you recite the words on the ANZAC memorial. We love your views of Turkey and we're using them to plan our Motorhome trip there next year.

Absolutely fascinating. My great grandfather was sent out there with the Royal Marines Light Infantry. He had two pieces of good luck. Firstly, he survived Gallipoli from beginning to end in the trenches and was evacuated to Mudros then onto the UK on HMT Olympic. Secondly, rather than being sent to the Western Front with the rest of his battalion, who nearly all perished, he was trained in naval gunnery and was eventually put on a newly built gun ship HMS Resolution... which the admiralty were too frightened to dent! His luck run out during WW2, he be became diabetic , his family couldn't afford food and insulin (no nhs) and he went into a coma and died in 1944. Thanks for posting.

According to my grandfather's sister, he was a very "difficult" chap and very religious, she said she couldn't wait to move out. @@mickandtrudie

Mustafa Kemal ATATURK-1938 Welcome to home.

My aunt is living in Gelibolu since I was born, so I know that place very well. We visited the Atatürk house and the martyrs' memorial, too. But, I don't know why, we had never been to Canakkale itself. So a couple years ago my mother and I decided to go there by bus. It is the cleanest turkish city I have ever seen in my life. It's charming and beautiful. There are many places I would like to visit like Bozcaada and Gökceada and Troj and Assos. Now I am married and my husband is not as interested as I am so maybe I'll have to let him watch this video😂

This is definetely Netflix deserving video, 👍👍👍👍👍

Welcome to my childhood city its so beautiful to you

One word: ‘WONDERFUL’

İyi ki varsınız ve iyi ki de Türkiye'de yaşamayı tercih etmişsiniz. Herkesin birbirlerini aşağılamaya, yok etmeye çalıştığı bir dönemde, aslında herkesin farklı ve güzel yönlerinin olduğunu gösteriyorsunuz. Bunun için sizlere teşekkür ederim. Aslında farklılıklar yaşamı güzelleştirir ve ilginçleştirir. Her şeyin aynı olması pek bir şey ifade etmez. Bunun için M. Kemal Atatürk'ün T.C. Devletini kurarken söylediği bir söz; hatta bizzat uygulamalı gösterdiği bir şey var, nüfus mübadelesi zamanlarında; Çankaya'daki bahçenin güllerini sökmesi ve tek bir çeşit gülleri bırakması, sonrasında ise; İsmet İnönü'nün bahçeyi görmesi ve rahatsızlığını M.Kemal Paşaya bildirmesi neticesinde, Paşa devletlerin de tıpkı bahçeler gibi olduğunu, onların da farklı milletlerle ve kültürlerle zenginleştirilmesi gerektiğini ima eder. Kısacası farklılıkların olduğu bir yer, rengarenk çiçeklerin olduğu bir gül bahçesi gibi güzel olur. O bahçede daha güzel zaman geçirilir. Başarılı çalışmalarınızın devamını diler selam ve saygılarımı sunarım.

History is important and essential for being real friends❤

Thank you for this. We are going to Istanbul next year for the second time and this time Çanakkale was on the list. Always wanted to see the memorials and also wondered about Troy but think we will leave that one. Did not look very impressive. We always like to do the travel planning ourselves rather than an organised tour but think that will be the better option this time. Your video is as always so informative and providing so much food for thought for our future trips. Take care.

I'm from Çanakkale and you did a very good job covering our city and it's attractions. Great video.
