Dardanelles

A fox in the historical Gallipoli Peninsula, where the Dardanelles Wars took place, became a social media sensation in Turkey as it has hundreds of its photos shared online.

The fox was first seen in the peninsula in 2017 and has been friendly towards people since they began feeding it.

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in northwestern Turkey is well on its way to becoming the world's longest suspension bridge with towers taller than the Eifel Tower, a significant landmark of Paris.

Tens of thousands of Russian White Army soldiers, who fled from the Bolshevik Revolution and took refuge in Turkey 100 years ago, have been commemorated in a quiet ceremony in the Aegean province of Çanakkale's Gelibolu.

With the construction of Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, Turkey realizes centuries' dream, said the Turkish president on May 16. 

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended via videoconference to the ceremony for the placement of the last steel block of 318-meter (1,043-feet) towers of the bridge in the country's northwestern Çanakkale province.

Turkey's president on March 17 marked 105th anniversary of Çanakkale Victory and Martyrs' Day and remembered the fallen soldiers who lost their lives during naval and ground battles in Çanakkale (Gallipoli Campaign) during the World War I.

A Russian naval cruiser had to cast anchor due to strong currents and bad weather in Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait on Jan. 6, according to a Turkish security source.

The Slava-class Marshal Ustinov anchored off the neighborhood of Moda, on Istanbul's Asian side, since conditions did not allow for it to dock, said the source.

Excavations in the Eceabat district in the northwestern province of Çanakkale have revealed that people from the Balkans settled in the area 4,000 years ago.

Work is underway to uncover a colossal mosaic, which was found during an illegal excavation in the Lapseki district of the northwestern province of Çanakkale in May and evaluated as a 1,500-year-old artifact. The 120-square-meter mosaic dates back to the late Roman and early Byzantine periods.

A big step has been taken in the construction of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge over the Dardanelles Strait after a 65,000-ton caisson was placed on the seabed near the European shore.

Visitors from Australia and New Zealand on April 25 morning attended a dawn ceremony marking the 104th anniversary of the World War One Battle of Gallipoli at Anzac Cove in the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey's northwestern province of Çanakkale.
