Along the Abana-Bozkurt road is a monument to 700 years of heroïsm by the locals.
This is a part of the text of the İstiklal Marşı, the National Anthem by Akif Ersoy, I take the translation from the Wikipedia entry:
"View not the soil you tread on as mere earth - recognize it!
And think about the shroudless10 thousands who lie so nobly beneath you.
You're the glorious son of a martyr - take shame, grieve not your ancestors!
Unhand not, even when you're promised worlds, this heavenly homeland.
Who would not sacrifice their life for this paradise of a country?
Martyrs would burst forth should one simply squeeze the soil! Martyrs!
May God take my life, my loved ones, and all possessions from me if He will,
But let Him not deprive me of my one true homeland in the world."
