Top Australian, New Zealand officials attend Anzac Day services in Türkiye

Australian and New Zealand officials on Thursday gathered at the Anzac Cove on the Gelibolu (Gallipoli) Peninsula of Canakkale province in Türkiye for a traditional dawn service, marking Anzac Day. Anzac Day commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand soldiers on April 25, 1915, at Gelibolu. As part of the 109th-anniversary commemoration ceremony, around 500 Australians and New Zealanders crossed from Canakkale to Gelibolui Peninsula at night and watched documentaries, films, interviews, and Anzac Day ceremonies on a large screen.
