Three keynote speakers are taking part in a special talk in
North London to commemorate the centenary of the
Battle of Çanakkale (
Gallipoli). Organised by the
Cezire Association, speakers Ertan Karpazlı, Mustafa Kureyşi and Hüseyin Bakayi will put the spotlight on the role of the
Turks of Cyprus during this famous battle and in the years immediately after.
Journalist and Cezire Association Turkey
Representative Ertan Karpazlı will highlight the participation of
Cypriot Turks at
Çanakkale in
1915, and how their role continued into the Turkish War of Independence, which started in
1919.
The title of the second talk by academic Mustafa Kureyşi, a specialist in
Cypriot history and
Islam, is: Turkish prisoners of war in Famagusta and the organisation for union with Turkey.
Through newly discovered primary sources, Kureyşi will explain what happened to the
Ottoman Turks caught as prisoners of war (POWs) by the
British during the Battle of Çanakkale and brought to British-occupied
Cyprus. It includes an incredible plan to rescue them and to start a revolt to return Cyprus to
Ottoman Turkey.
