Statue of Peace, Peace monument in Kizilay district, Turkey
The statue depicts a young girl and boy holding a dove together, representing the symbolism of peace through a bronze sculpture in Sakarya Street.
Created by sculptor Burhan Alkar in 1979, the statue emerged as a response to political tensions between right and left factions in Turkey.
The statue stands as a central gathering point in Ankara where people meet and reflect on the importance of social harmony.
Located in the pedestrian area of Sakarya Street, the monument experienced damage in 2017 when a cleaning truck accidentally struck its base.
The municipality of Cankaya collected the broken pieces of the statue after its fall and initiated plans for its complete restoration.
