The victory of the Seljuk Empire over the Byzantines 946 years ago opened the door for Turks to enter Anatolia for the first time. And ever since, the region has been Turkish land. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim are attending the commemorations. Samantha Johnson is at the event and shows us some of the activities.
