Victory day

Today there is a national holiday in Turkey: Victory day is when they celebrate the decisive victory at Dumlupınar of the Turkish Republican armies over the invading Greek army during Turkey's War of Independence in 1922.

Since yesterday I started noticing that in many shops and houses they put out the the national flag. This made me remember the recently big patriotic movement in Portugal with the Euro 2004 (the Greek invaders had the victory there :P) where everybody was displaying the national flag on house windows and cars. This display in turkey isn't as big as that one in Portugal, but I'm sure they use their flag more frequently here then us in Portugal.
