Flag of Samsun Province - Image by Jens Pattke, 19 October 2012
The flag of Samsun Province (photo) is white with the province's emblem in the middle. "T.C." stands for "Türkiye Cumhuriyeti", "Republic of Turkey"; "Valiliği" means "Governorate".
The emblem features Samsun's landmark, the
Statue of Honor, an equestrian monument dedicated to Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk (1881-1938). The monument recalls that Kemal landed on 19 May
1919 in Samsun, where he started the organization of a national
movement, the first step to the War of Independence (1919-1922).
The monument was designed by the Austrian architect Heinrich Krippel
(1883-1945), commissioned by Governor Kazım Pasha. Of nearly 9 m in
height, the monument was inaugurated in 1932.
