Hmmmmm.......... That'll attract some attention to Fethiye. Not all of it positive though.

Would have thought getting the roads to at least a driveable state could have been more of a priority, after all a lot have been in a deplorable state for over a year. But what do I know  :-[

I would just like a road!  After all, I pay my taxes here too.

A unusual monument to be built in Fethiye unless there is a connection between here and the people that were killed.I am sure it was a good idea at the time  :o

I can't see any link to this area, and it looks like it cost a pretty penny too.  Instead of wasting money on this perhaps the Mayor should have seen the money go into local schools or towards local people requiring help for medical or disability assistance.  Doubt it though!  This fella is now moving onto the next stage of political aggrandisement called leaving a lasting or permanent legacy!!  And this edifice aint much of a legacy in my book, when there is so much else to do for the living in this area. >:( >:(

Not sure if the monument was finished / unveiled before we left Turkey 16th July.. but don't remember seeing it!

Is it up by Denizati restaurant end or closer to harbour McDonalds etc..?
