August 24th, is the birthday when the Ottomans sparked their takeover of the Middle East at the Battle of Dābiq, defeating the Mamluk Sultanate on August 24th 1516, near the town of Dabiq in Syria. And it is today that began the land invasion of Turkey’s largest intervention in Syria ...500 years to the day - that's why.

Interesting, Erdogan acts like Turkey should lead the emerging Caliphate, that would restore the Ottoman Empire.
