Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Pasha launched the Great Offensive from Kocatepe at 5:30 a.m. on August 26, 1922, with cannon fire, personally commanding the battle. The enemy was routed in the field battle of Dumlupınar on August 30 and in hand-to-hand combat, and victory was achieved with the Turkish Army's entry into Izmir on September 9, 1922. On the 103rd anniversary of this victory, we commemorate all our martyrs and veterans, especially Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades-in-arms, with mercy and gratitude. (August 26, 2025)

I WAS WRONG ONE DAY IN MY CALCULATIONS.

Let's hear from Mr. Falih Rıfkı Atay about an incident that occurred before the great offensive and during the preparation days:

Mustafa Kemal spent his last night in Ankara with his close associates in Keçiören. He was quite tired when he left. He said to those around him:

-When you receive the order to attack, calculate. We'll be in Izmir on the fifteenth day!

I wonder if it was the effect of fatigue?... They even smiled slightly afterward.

Among those who welcomed Atatürk upon his return from Izmir were one or two of the men he had been with on that last night of weariness. When Atatürk saw them, he smiled, saying:
-I Was Wrong One Day İn My Calculations. (It took 14 days.)
