Shouldn't this be obvious? : Because the ANZACs were invading their country. The ANZAC troops, along with other Allied soldiers, landed in the Dardanelles Straits to capture this strategic sea passage. The Ottoman (Turkish) Army had been preparing for such a move for a long time, and the ANZAC suffered a very large number of casualties.

Why were the ANZACS fighting the Turks?
Australia and New Zealand were part of the British Commonwealth, which was one of the Allies in World War I. The Ottoman Empire was one of the Central Powers. Those facts naturally brought the ANZACs into conflict with Turks. The ANZACs were specifically sent to the Turkish front in Gallipoli so that British soldiers could focus on the Western Front which was closer to London and made maintenance much easier. Giving the command of the Turkish front over to foreign regiments was much easier to justify.
