Mustafa Kemel Ataturk's picture is everywhere. In Turkey you can curse God - but curse Ataturk and you can be jailed. At 1:05pm on Nov 10th every year - the country comes to a standstill for 2 minutes to commemorate the moment that he died. An amazing man. A great leader - and the father of modern Turkey.
