Scandalous statue of Kars to be demolished April 23
More than 200 artists will leave for Kars on April 23 to protest the demolishing of the monument symbolizing humanism. The organizers of the protest-action are former mayor of Kars Naif Alibeyoglu and architect Mehmet Aksoy.
According to “Sondakika” Mehmet Aksoy said in a meeting with the journalists that Erdogan called the statue “ugly” to get more votes in the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
“On April 23 the statue will be demolished. If it happens, we’ll not differ from Talibans,” Aksoy said adding that 70% of Kars population is against the decision.
