Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Plaza

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Plaza is a square with the Turkish Soldiers Monument and the Atatürk Memorial, dedicated to the Ottoman soldiers who died during the Battle of Beersheba in Beersheba, Israel.

[1] In October 2002, a monument to honor the 298 Turkish soldiers who lost their lives during the Battle of Beersheba in 1917 was erected east of the station in cooperation between the Beersheba Municipality and Turkish authorities.

This plaque was previously located nearby at the Beer Sheva War Cemetery for British and ANZAC soldiers who died in the same battle.

On the square there is a bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk which reads his famous quote: "Yurtta Barış, Dünyada Barış""Peace at Home, Peace in the World"in three different languages.

This stance was later integrated and implemented as the foreign policy of the Republic of Turkey.
