Mersin 090

At the sea front is a park, with some statues and monuments of varying quality.

Could someone help me translate the text? I have the feeling the first part reads somewhat like "If one does not master knowledge one can not generate ideas", the translation of the second part and more was supplied by a guest whom I thank for the assistance (see message below).

Nikon D2x
1/60s f/8.0 at 25.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original

For any use: see my Profile. NOTE: Many of my pictures are in sub-galleries (some within another, their name is in bold print)!

the translation of part 1 is correct. the second part would be "we have been shot, my people, don't forget us". it is from a poem by mumcu. mumcu was a prominent liberal journalist from cumhuriyet newspaper. he was assassinated in 1993 in a bomb attack.
