Ertuğrul Gazi Commemoration in Söğüt

Overview

The 745th Ertuğrul Gazi Commemoration and Yörük Festivals were held in Söğüt, Bilecik, to honor the historical foundations of the Ottoman Empire. The three-day program involved various regional associations, including the Oğuz Ata Federation and delegations from Balıkesir and Susurluk.

Participants included representatives from the Great Unity Party (BBP), who described the region as the ‘ancestral homeland of the Muslim Turk’. The festivities also featured a presence from the Ülkü Ocakları, whose provincial tent in Bilecik became a point of interest due to the display of Bozkurt symbols and slogans expressing loyalty to Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahçeli. Local organizers noted that coordination between various groups and security forces contributed to a peaceful program.
