Theo Francken, the Belgian Minister of Defence, visited Anıtkabir, the largest Hittite revival structure in the world, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s tomb is located. He paid respect to him by kneeling down, although the official protocol doesn’t entail such a custom – and the previous foreign dignitaries didn’t do so.

He wrote the following to the Private Journal of Anıtkabir:

“On behalf of the Kingdom of Belgium and its armed forces, in this historical place, I am proud to offer my respect to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. He was a great statesman who provided the Turks safe borders, a modern, secular constitution, and the rule of law. Thanks to this extraordinary success, Turkey has become a strong and prosperous nation, maintaining the role of ensuring regional stability to this day.”

He also remarked that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “goes on with inspiring generations all over the world.”

What is he even doing…lmao

This guy just looks goofy all the time lol

There’s something wrong with how he looks but I can’t quite wrap my head around it.

Why not.

We just went for food at Turkish place in Esneux. 
Down to Earth,  hard working people. 

I would kneel for them to have really good fries,  compared to utter crap cooked by locals a k.a. Belgium fries.
