"We expect everything from ourselves."

The photo was taken in 10th anniversary celebration of Turkish Republic.

Çok anlamlı bir resim. [ Such a meaningful picture] Aynı zamanda anlamlı bir mesaj taşıyor. [ Also it conveys a meaningful message in it] 

Thanks for sharing it. [ Sağol paylaştığın için.]

Gerçekten de çok anlamlı bir mesaj taşıyor. Zaten bunun için paylaştım. Like a puzzle.

what´s the meaning of it ?

at first glance, it looks like a message from an independent country.

and ...?  what do you mean exactly ?

i think it is a respond to the 1st chapter, 5th verse of quran. At that time people get the message, nowadays it is really hard to solve it.

You (Alone) we worship, and you (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
(Allahım!) Yalnız sana ibadet ederiz ve yalnız senden yardım dileriz.

very interesting indeed

There is a difference between doing your own job with God´s help...and expecting God to do everything for you !

God does not like lazy buggers.

I don´t think they wanted to give a meaning as you mentioned.

You would make a perfect protestant, AlphaF.

I agree with you but only partly. For reasons that are too hard for us humans to understand, Allah may show mercy on a beggar.

I am a protestant...not obvious ?

I thought you were an atheist  

We can´t ignore the fact that positivism had a big influence on the education policies of modern republic.
