1 numaralı Aziziye Tablası - 1 numaralı Aziziye Tablası

The history of the first bastions built in Erzurum goes back to the Ottoman-Iran war in the 18th century. However, the largest bastions were built since the beginning of the 19th century in order to protect the city from Russian raids and invasions in Eastern Anatolia. The number of these strategic structures built on hills with high visibility around the city is 22. These bastions, which include headquarters buildings, military shelters, training grounds, dining halls, cisterns, ambush rooms; sometimes it consists of a combination of a single, sometimes a few large structures. If the whole point of the matter is actually just traveling, come and see. It is no different than walking around a stone spiritually. It's just abandoned empty rooms. If you ask if you are entitled to 10 TL received at the entrance, unfortunately not. A little bit, as the Chinese say, actually. If your war of liberation had been with us, we would be the leader of the world. What kind of logic is to say that it is enough for people to just come and see the empty bastions. It is too bad to not be able to explain his Nenehat to people, and not to instill that spirit in people. Did we come and see, we saw. The result is a few stone walls and three or five empty rooms. Spirit, spirituality unfortunately does not exist. It is a place to be visited, but do not expect much, no explanation, no regulation, no issue of preserving any cultural heritage. The result is disappointment again. Instead of collecting money, the employees of the Ministry of Tourism would say that they would sacrifice 10 TL 100 TL instead of instilling the spiritual spirit in people, but we could not say that.
