In front of the Independence Tower, there is a statue group of three women in Turkish national costumes.
The two women at the sides are holding a large wreath reaching to the ground. This wreath, made up of grain sheafs, represents the abundant country. The woman on the left with a cup in her stretched-out hand is asking for God's compassion. The woman in the middle, covering her face with her hand, is crying.
This group represents the pride of Turkish women, and their solemnity and determination even in grief and hardship.
