Description
Standing at the foot of the cliff overlooking Kemaliye, the golden statue of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the father of the nation, evokes the glorious past of this small town in eastern Turkey. Ataturk rewarded the loyalty of the town, nestled between the mountains and the sources of the Euphrates, by giving it his name ahead of creating the Turkish republic out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire 100 years ago. "The love of Ataturk is something very special. You can't really measure it in terms of feelings, we just love him so much," cafe owner Erdal Erturk tells AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
