Guess who?

How many Atatürk statues can there possibly be in Turkey? Answer: they number in the gazillions, methinks. This one has a famous quote of his at the bottom, which means "How happy I am to call myself a Türk." The foundation of the modern republic was centered around uniting different ethnic groups as "Turkish." This allowed the country to be strong enough to succeed and survive, but it has also has had some complicated side effects, most notably with the supression, at times, of Kurdish culture.
