"The most real guide in life is knowledge" - Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938)

This statue is by the harbour and next to the Culture and Art stage that I blipped last Thursday night.  Photo taken during evening stroll with the woofer.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, also known as Mustafa Kemal Pasha until 1921, and Ghazi Mustafa Kemal from 1921 until the Surname Law of 1934, was a Turkish field marshal, revolutionary statesman, author, and the founding father of the Republic of Turkey, serving as its first president from 1923 until his death in 1938. Wikipedia
