A guest provided me with the translation for the slogan by Atatürk you see on this monument. "This is one of the famous quotes of Ataturk which can be translated as "Turk, be proud, work and believe (or trust)" meaning that "Turk; be proud of yourself and your country, work hard and believe in yourself.""

The monument is - as you can see - huge, and shows the usual scenes of people being downtrodden, fighting back, being industrious and all that. I found some of its sculptural works of a sound quality, some of it over the top. De gustibus non est disputandum.

This ‘Güven Anıtı’ (= Monument of Confidence) was erected in 1935. Its designers were two Austrians: Anton Hanak (1875-1934) and Josef Thorak (1889-1952).

Hanak was professor of monumental sculpture, first at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna (1913-1932) and later on at Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts (1932-1934).
Thorak became (in 1933) one of the two "official sculptors" of the Third Reich. Both artists were well known for their "grandiose monuments".

This one is 37 m long, the central stone block is 8 m high; the bronze figures are 6 m tall.
