In a despicable move, the NATO Land Forces Command (LANDCOM) based in Smyrna (Izmir) in Turkey posted a congratulatory message to Turkey on its X account, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922, which is celebrated in Turkey as “Victory and Turkish Armed Forces Day“.

Since joining #NATO in 1952, Türkiye has participated in multiple operations and exercises and has always demonstrated the great professionalism and tenacity of its soldiers.

Türkiye and #NATO are stronger and safer together! pic.twitter.com/UuADFbqMab

A similar message was posted last year on the same day, provoking a strong reaction from Greece, which asked for an explanation and succeeded in deleting the post.

Today, August 30, Turkey celebrates the so-called “Victory Day”, the anniversary of the Turkish army’s victory over Greek forces in the 1922 Battle of Dublupinar in Asia Minor.
