1. Ankara Citadel
2. Anitkabir
Ataturk really is a big deal in Ankara...I mean his picture was all over Ankara. He was the modern founder of Turkey and is as good as him giving life to the turks. Anitkabir is the mausoleum for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk...Its very impressive how they also lay out the history of Modern Turkey underground-lots of paintings, battle simulation, quotes & messages, statues and biography etc etc. There was also a peace park surrounding the mausoleum and it contains around 50,000 decorative trees, flowers and shrubs in 104 varieties, donated from around 25 countries...Ok i'm so not into plants but I think its pretty fresh how countries gives trees and flowers for planting as a symbol of friendship and sign of peace. Ataturk's famous expression, "Peace at home, peace in the country"
The Anitkabir
ATA is the army boys that just graduated that day
"It is the basic principle to recognise the national forces as the only power, and to rely on the unquestionable superiority of the national will"
