In a historic event for the Turkish navy, a grand ceremony called “100 Ships in the 100th Year” featured the passage of a fleet of ships through the Bosphorus. This event involved 100 warships and nearly 8,000 personnel from various parts of Türkiye. The parade was meticulously planned and executed by multiple naval commands, according to officials. The ships, led by Türkiye’s largest warship, TCG Anadolu, included a diverse array of vessels. Notable participants included Türkiye’s first national frigate Istanbul and an aircraft with short-runway landing capabilities. President Erdogan praised the parade, highlighting its significance in reaffirming Türkiye’s commitment to its heritage and independence.
A full moon rising over Lake Van in the Ahlat district of Türkiye’s Bitlis province created a breathtaking spectacle as it reflected off the calm waters. Locals and visitors gathered along the lakeshore to witness and photograph the scene, with many describing it as an unforgettable moment.
Nature photographer Şahin Şerefoğlu, who captured the moonrise at Ahlat Pier, said, “We’re in one of the most beautiful places to watch the full moon. We invite all nature lovers to experience this view.”
Travelers from other regions, including Şanlıurfa, also came to enjoy the view, turning the lakeside into a popular spot for moon gazing and photography.
