The parade took place under the command of the head of the Navy, Admiral Ercüment Tatlioglu. As the ships passed through the Bosphorus, they greeted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who watched the ceremony from the Vahdettin Pavilion.
Along with the parade of ships, nine F-16 aircraft, three F-4E aircraft and helicopters of the Turkish fleet command made a demonstration flight in the sky. Turkish planes make number 100 in the sky of Istanbul.
Let’s remember that Erdogan earlier said that Hamas militants are not terrorists. He called on other countries to apply pressure to “bring the state of Israel back to its senses.”
