1…………> Down With British Oppressors: Kut-Al-Amara
The 102nd anniversary of the Kut al-Amara victory against the British was commemorated at the Ottoman Martyrs cemetery in eastern Iraq, with Fatih Yildiz, Turkey’s ambassador in Baghdad, describing Kut al-Amara as a joint Turkish-Iraqi victory in a speech he delivered in the city of Kut to mark the anniversary.
“We need to take a lesson from the unity and solidarity that our ancestors had in history against plans to divide the people in the region. “Let our unity always continue in peace,” Yildiz said.
“Being here is important to refresh our 450-year-long relations. Our solidarity should continue in order to build our common future,” Wasit governor Mahmoud Abd al-Rida Mulla Talal emphasized the importance of cooperation between the Iraqi and Turkish governments.
The battle of Kut al-Amara took place during the 1st World War between the Ottoman Army and British-Indian colonial forces in the town of Kut.
