Press Photo War Academy at Ankara, Turkey's equivalent of West Point

Every photo in our collection is an original vintage print from a newspaper or news service archive, not a digital image. Please see our FAQ for more information.

Description
Istanbul, Turkey Youth and Sport Day celebration at Istanbul's Ismet Inonu Stadium, finds cadets of Kuleli Military High School paying homage to star-and-crescent flag of Turkey. State-run Kuleli is step towards entering the War Academy at Ankara, Turkey's equivalent of West Point. Military tradition among the Turks is still the single most unifying force for discipline and order in the life of the country. Normally Turkish civilian masses will follow dictates of the armed forces when their mandate is asserted, particularly in times of foreign confrontation.
