Beloved Ataturk, "Father of Modern Turkey"

Like any revolutionary leader (whose revolution was successful),
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is iconic in Turkey. On just a 20 minute morning
stroll, my new friend) Andrea and I saw two such displays on public
buildings. It's a cult of personality, just like that of a Lenin or
Castro or Washington.
