A look at the mausoleum of Turkey’s founding father AtaturkAPRIL 14, 2017

For generations, Turks have revered their nation’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who carved out modern Turkey from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire in the wake of World War I.

In this March 29, 2017 photo, a Turkish military officer stands as an honour guard outside the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey in Ankara, Turkey. Ataturk' mausoleum, a sprawling complex built in the early 1950s in the Turkish capital, is still a place of pilgrimage for many. Families, schoolchildren, elderly people, veiled Muslim women all come to pay homage to his memory. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
