Turkish ambassador Iskender Okyay hosted a reception to mark the opening of an exhibition at the Ambassador’s residence on the centenary of the Battle of Canakkale – a significant moment in the fortunes of World War 1. The diplomats and other guests were able to see the story of the battle, through photographs, letters and other mementoes from soldiers from the front, in an attractively informative display.
