Ankara Anıtkabir

view map

The two groups of men and women on either side of the start of the triumphal lane. They stand in front of the Tower of Independence and of Freedom and represent the nation. A viewer explained: The man wearing a cap is a soldier of the nation, the rigthmost man is the intellectual of the nation and the man behind them is a shepher who symbolizes Anatolian villagers.
The leftmost women does not, as I was first informed, a Quoran, but a pot symbolizing prosperity. The one in the middle is crying and the rigthmost one stands proudly and greeting.
