Ataturk Picture Of The Week: 3
I have been very busy, both work and non-work wise, so I haven't had time to update the blog. I now just have time to add another image of Ataturk.The following picture is from an Isbank ("Is Bankasi" in Turkish) bank cheque (or "check" for those who can't spell properly).
Note that Isbank is a private bank and not government owned. The love of Ataturk in Turkey is not just promoted by the government but from other sectors as well.

I'm terrible with faces, but I rekon I would recognise it ANYWHERE, faster than most "famous" Aussie faces! ;)

My grandmother's father was a farmer, and had been fought for 10 years in Canakkale and Yemen (World War 1). In Canakkale he lost his friends from his troop, and was shot in his shoulder. And he returned home when he was 27 years old, bare feet and without any teeth in mouth from Yemen. My grandmother told me his story with teardrops, because each time when her father was telling the story he was crying...And colonists were defeated thanks to him, and all defenders conducted by the respectful general Ataturk and his corps. If necessary, my generation can do everything, even die for honor and freedom again.
