Atatürk statue in Turkey's Rize moved to different location amid controversy
A statue of Turkey's founding-father, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, was removed on Dec. 22 from the main town square of the Black Sea province of Rize and was re-erected on a ceremony area in front of the Rize governor's office amid reactions from a group of people who said the work was ideologically motivated.
