Pictures taken of the Atatürk monument on the Cumhuriyet Meydanı (Square of the Republic). It has a text to be proud of: "Bu tek Türk şehri hiçbir yerden, maddi yârdim görmeksizindi kahramanlığı ile kendini kurtardı ve gazi unvanına bin hakkin liyakat kesbetti." or (Google translated, rather well done): This only (I'd say: .. this one Turkish ..) Turkish city rescued itself from nowhere, without financial help, with its heroism, and it gave [itself] a thousand rights to the title of veteran.
