ÇANAKKALE 
1st INTERNATIONAL
GELİBOLU PEACE CUP

April 20-23, 2007
Çanakkale / TURKEY

<<<  The Monument for Respect to Mehmetçik
 This is a monument inspired by a speech given by the (then) Australian Governor General Lord Richard Casey, when he visited Çanakkale in 1967. Casey, who served at Gallipoli as a lieutenant, told of how in the heat of the battle, a Turkish soldier carried a wounded British soldier from his trench over to the Allied trench only metres away and, leaving him with his comrades, returned to his own lines
The city of Canakkale (Turkey) is planning to hold an annual international bridge festival, entitled "ÇANAKKALE 1st GELIBOLU PEACE CUP".
 
Being a land where various cultures and religions lived in piece for centuries, with the purpose of uniting people under the flag of sports, the city of Canakkale/Turkey will hold this bridge tournament with the participation of all countries that took part in the wars of Canakkale.
 
The Governorship and Municipality of Canakkale are the proud hosts of the Festival that will take place between 20-23 April 2007.
 
The organizing committee will cover the full-board accommodation costs, as well as the local transport costs (Istanbul-Canakkale-Istanbul) of
all participating teams consisting of up to 7 persons. Additionally, all local sight-seeing tours in Canakkale and cultural activities will be complimentary for the teams.
