The poet Adbülkadir Bulut was my father's friend, by the way.:(

Then there is the Sumela Manastırı in Maçka:

And Istanbul is beyond words, of course, but the landmark should be the Bosphorus:

Edit: Good to know that we are a nation strong enough to place a mountain across borders. Strong like a Turk. That's what we are. :DDD

Doesn't this mean that techically Mount Ağrı is a Ağrı city landmark now? Not some obscure stateling?

Answer 2

The City i recide in is World Wide Renown for its medical Nmae, with the MAYO Clinic being the heart of this city, and employing more than 50,000 people in the 100,000 population city and surrounding areas, Its a Big one.

Over the years, mayo has spread itself now to Arizona, and Florida and I believe CA.
It also is now starting small towm clinic here in Southern MN. This wll take away from a lot of the Dr's. Clinic, but with the Dr's Addded mostly to mayo as Employed Dr's.
Then the people willl still be able to feel like they have their family Dr.
Mayo Clinic is Probably the most spoken about medical Center in the world!

My roots go back to the Village of Subatan near Kars Eastern Turkey. I am lucky to be here today because my grandmother was one of very few that escaped the Armenians when they gathered all the locals and murdered them.

Have a look at this link.

The Kyreina Gate (Girne Kapısı) on the 16th Century Venetian Walls surrounding old Nicosia. The Gate's original name was 'Porta del Providatore'. It was named Kyrenia Gate because it faces north toward the town of Kyrenia (the other gates known as Famagusta (Mağusa) Gate and Paphos (Baf) Gate.
