‘Monstrosity'
I am indebted to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for adding the word "monstrosity" to my vocabulary.
He used this word to describe sculptor Mehmet Aksoy's unfinished statue in Kars. Aksoy is Turkey's most skilled master of the art of making social and political life, history, sorrows and love visible using stone and bronze. The then-mayor of Kars, who was from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), wanted to sponsor the construction of a statue regarding the "Armenian question" and Aksoy won the competition.
