Samsun hosts exhibition of Turkish War of Independence documents

The Samsun Metropolitan Municipality has opened the Turkish War of Independence Documents Exhibition at the Havza Atatürk House. The exhibition features archival documents, photographs, and materials that provide new insights into the activities of Mustafa Kemal Pasha in Istanbul, Samsun, and Havza during the early stages of the independence movement.

In conjunction with the exhibition, two new books were introduced as part of the Samsun Metropolitan Municipality Cultural Publications. The first, titled “Mustafa Kemal Pasha from Samsun to Havza as the Turkish War of Independence Begins,” was written by Ondokuz Mayıs University professor Önder Duman and includes documents discovered for the first time during his research. The second book, “Politics and Economy in Samsun During the Multi-Party Period,” was authored by Dr. Ercan Yalçın.
