Atatürk's Memorial Day in Turkey

Weekend market, close to my apartment
This morning in Turkey was windy and partly cloudy, with active waves on the sea, reminding that winter is coming soon. At 9:05, the whole country observed a minute of silence: cars and public transport stopped, people on the streets paused as the siren sounded, paying their respects. It was at this exact time in 1938 that the president and founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, passed away.
I will be in Turkey for the next few weeks and then go back to Russia. For now, I’ll enjoy the last warm days of sunny Turkey. I’ll gather more memories to share with you in upcoming videos and stories.
