Just like in Erzurum, our children in Turkey get the chance to get to know their national heroes better. Our children will follow in the footsteps of their heroes at a young age and be with that consciousness in every part of their lives. Erzurum is an ancient city… I would like to thank our education volunteer, the mayor of the metropolitan municipality of Erzurum, Mehmet Sekmen, who implemented our project in the city of civilizations. The positive feedback I’ve experienced here has increased the happiness I experienced while writing these books,” he said.
