Turks were not deported to Syria in 1915; Armenians, Pontic Greeks, and Assyrians were. In total, the genocide claimed, 1.5 million Armenian lives, 500,000 Pontic Greek lives, and 280,000 Assyrian lives.

I'm not sure they celebrate it (don't get me wrong because they might, but I'm not Turkish). ANZAC is short for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, so I'm not sure about the Turkish.

For them, the day of the first ANZAC landing and the months that followed were just more campaigns in World War I. 25 April 1915 holds no special significance for them.
