Turkey's Deputy PM visits Ataturk's memorial house in Kodzadzik village
Centar Zupa, 24 June 2012 (MIA) - Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag accompanied by Culture Minister Elizabeta Kanceska-Milevska visited on Saturday the village of Kodzadzik in Centar Zupa municipality, where a memorial house of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is being built.
"The house of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's family is due to be completely reconstructed and promoted in the municipality of Centar Zupa in September. The project has a great significance for the Government of Macedonia and for our citizens, because the name of the great Kemal Ataturk is a permanent and unbreakable bond between the two countries," Minister Kanceska-Milevska said at a ceremony in Kodzadzik.
She added that three reconstructed monuments of the Ottoman era in Macedonia had been promoted - Voska Hamam, Zejnel Abedin Pasha's tekke and Sinan Celebi's turbe, which "are a proof of our efforts to foster joint values created in the past."
The Turkish Deputy PM pinpointed the friendly relations between the two governments and nations.
"Macedonia and Turkey are two friendly states. All of the projects point out that our nations are closely bonded," Bozdag said.
The Government has provided funds for the construction of a 3km road linking the village and the memorial house, which is being built with financial support by the Turkish government through the Turkish Cooperation & Coordination Agency (TIKA).
