“I was watching the fantastic Bodrum view on one side and Ataturk on the other. It was as if Ataturk was gonna come and join us in the Jacuzzi. Ataturk pictures are mostly serious, but this one is so colourful and has an optimistic point of view.
He was there saying ‘Ey Turk gencligi!’ Enjoy life!”
