Hürriyet-Flags lower, sirens blast across Turkey in memory of Ataturk

"Flags lower, sirens blast across Turkey in memory of Ataturk
As occurs every November 10, across Turkey, the death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is remembered today, with the lowering of flags, and the blasting of sirens and horns at 9:05. The first ceremonies commemorating the 67th anniversary of Ataturk's death took place this morning in Ankara, with President Ahmet Necdet Sezer placing a wreath on the Anitkabir, or Ataturk's masoleum."
