Ankara's rich legacy is showcased in its various museums and historic buildings
(1º§) As a proud Hyderabadi, I can claim a long-standing kinship with Turkiye. The Turkish Princess Durru Shehvar (daughter of the last Ottoman Caliph) was married to the not-so-illustrious son of our famously rich last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan. Her beauty eclipsed our city's glory and she left a lasting impression of her celebrated sophistication on Hyderabad's aristocracy. Later, her son Prince Mukarram Jah married a few Turkish beauties and they all grace our city off and on. So when you say Turkiye, we smile smugly and announce, "Woh hamare rishtedar hain! (Meaning "They are our relatives!").
(2º§) Turkiye's capital Ankara grows on you, slowly. It may not impress you with its stern, steppe landscape but Ankara, an epitome of Turkiye's ancient history and rich heritage, wins you ___ with its quiet charm. A major stop along the Silk Road between East and West, this is where the ancient Hittite Empire emerged and the Turkish War of Independence was strategized.
(3º§) When Turkey became a Republic in 1923, Ankara developed swiftly as the capital city and today it is the second biggest metro in Türkiye. Ankara's rich legacy is showcased ___ its various museums and historic buildings.
(4º§) Statues of brightly painted Angora goats greet me as I climb the ascent to the Ankara State Museum of Painting and Sculpture. They are so cute that I can't resist posing with them! Heard of Angora wool? That is obtained from Angora rabbits. These indigenous Angora goats provide Mohair wool that dyes well, feels warm in winter, and cool in summer, is durable, naturally elastic, flame and crease-resistant, and can be classified as luxury fibre like its rich cousins such as Cashmere, Angora, and silk, and can be more pricey than most sheep's wool. With so many qualifications, the angora goats certainly deserve to be where they are prettily painted and placed ___ the entrance to welcome the visitors!
