# Mehmet Aksoy (sculptor)

Mehmet Aksoy (born 15 May 1939) is a Turkish sculptor. His sculptures often contain sensual figurative elements, but he is strongly rooted in a modernist sensibility with strong conceptual and abstract elements in his work. He works primarily in stone but also incorporates other material, fusing metal or differing stones in a single sculpture. He presently resides and works in a studio of his own dramatic design on the outskirts of Istanbul.

## Early life

He was born 1939 in Kessab, a town in northwestern Syria close to the Turkish border to a family of Turkmen origin. After completing his primary education in Yayladağı in Hatay Province, Tarsus, Mersin and Antalya, he enrolled 1960 in Istanbul Academy of Fine Arts (today Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University) to study painting. Later, Aksoy switched over to sculpture section, where he was educated by Prof. Şadi Çalık between 1961 and 1967. Following his military service, he served at the same academy as an assistant in 1969/1970. He went in 1970 to London after having received a state-granted scholarship for further studies. Aksoy moved to Germany to study at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, from where he obtained a master's degree in 1977. He returned in 1978 to Turkey and served until 1980 as an instructor at his alma mater.

## Works
### Statue of Humanity

Statue of Humanity (Turkish: İnsanlık Anıtı, Armenian: Մարդկության հուշարձան) was a statue under construction in Kars, Turkey created by Mehmet Aksoy. The monument, depicting two human figures reaching out hands to each other, stood 30 m (98 ft) high on Kazıktepe Hill across from the ancient Castle of Kars outside of the city and would have been visible from neighboring Armenia when completed. It was commissioned by Naif Alibeyoğlu [tr], the former mayor of Kars, as a gesture of reconciliation in Armenia–Turkey relations following a 2009 accord to establish formal diplomatic recognition between the two.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described the monument as a "freak" (Turkish: ucube) during a visit to Kars in January 2011. In spite of protests, the city authority decided to remove the statue. In April 2011, works began to demolish it. Erdoğan insists that this was merely a question of aesthetics, yet according to The Economist the demolition could have been an attempt to appeal to nationalist sentiment ahead of the 2011 general election. As a response to Erdoğan's comments, Aksoy filed a lawsuit against Erdoğan for insulting him. In March 2015, a court fined Erdoğan 10,000 Turkish lira for calling the work a "freak". Erdoğan's lawyer claimed it was a critique rather than an insult. However local court later on overturned that verdict.

### Memorial to the Deserter

Memorial to the Deserter (Turkish: İnsanlık Anıtı) is a statue in Unity Square, Potsdam, Germany created by Mehmet Aksoy. The figure in this memorial, which honors those who refuse to fight in unjust wars, is carved in negative relief, a technique that Aksoy employed in later work.

## Personal life

Aksoy lost his brother, sister-in-law, and nibling in 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.

# Central–Western Economic Corridor

The Central–Western Economic Corridor (Abrv: CWEC; Thai: ระเบียงเศรษฐกิจพิเศษภาคกลาง-ตะวันตก) is a special economic zone in Thailand that aims to promote economic development in the central and western regions of the country. It comprises four provinces: Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, Suphanburi, and Kanchanaburi. The corridor is focused on developing the agro-tourism industry, high-value hi-tech industry, as well as green and heritage tourism. The CWEC is strategically designed to connect both to Bangkok and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), as well as to the Dawei port in Myanmar, making it an important hub for transportation and trade.

## History

The National Committee for the Development of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) approved the Central-Western Economic Corridor (CWEC) as a special economic zone in May 2022, along with three other corridors. The CWEC covers the provinces of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, Suphanburi, and Kanchanaburi, and is designed to serve as a manufacturing base for agriculture, tourism, and high technology. On September 20, 2022, the cabinet acknowledged and approved the committee's proposals, which authorized the Finance Ministry's permanent secretary to chair a subcommittee to establish non-tax and tax investment incentives, one-stop services, infrastructure, and facilities to attract investors.

## Economic

The region is known for its diverse agricultural production, including rice, sugar cane, cassava, and livestock, and is also a hub for orchids exports. The extensive irrigation system in the region allows for the production of advanced processed agricultural products and bio-products, which creates opportunities for processing Myanmar's resources. The CWEC is also a production base for the automotive parts and electronics industries, which are connected to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) area. The corridor also has a thriving tourism industry that offers visitors the chance to explore world heritage sites, natural attractions, and engage in various forms of adventure tourism.

# Remains of Taipei Prison Wall

25°1′58.02″N 121°31′36.59″E﻿ / ﻿25.0327833°N 121.5268306°E﻿ / 25.0327833; 121.5268306
The Remains of Taipei Prison Wall (Chinese: 臺北監獄圍牆遺蹟; pinyin: Táiběi Jiānyù Wéiqiáng Yíjī) are located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan, at the end of Aiguo East Road and Jinshan South Road next to the Southern Taipei operations center for Chunghwa Telecom. About 100 meters of wall exist on both sides of the Chunghwa Telecom property.
The walls were built during Japanese rule.

## Background

In 1895, China ceded Taiwan to Japan after the First Sino-Japanese War. Taiwan thus became Japan's first colony. Many Taiwanese resisted, and anti-Japanese uprisings became common.
In response, the Japanese colonial government built large prisons in Taihoku and Tainan Prefecture to hold political prisoners.
The Taipei prison was based on a radial floor plan, a standard prison design of the 19th century. The prison walls were made with stones from the Old Taipei City Wall, built by the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century. The stones were carved completely by hand from the quartzose sandstone quarries in the Dazhi (大直) and Neihu areas of Taipei.

## World War II Allied prisoners

In 1944 and 1945, Allied airmen who had been shot down or crashed while on patrols over Taiwan were held in the Taipei Prison by the Japanese Army. On 29 May 1945, 14 of these allied airmen were given a mock trial and sentenced to death. They were executed in the prison courtyard 58 days before the end of World War II. When the war ended, the rest of the men were released and returned home.

# Corfinio Cathedral

Corfinio Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Corfinio; Basilica chiesa di San Pelino) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Corfinio, Abruzzo, Italy, dedicated to Saint Pelinus. It was formerly the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Valva (Valva was a former name of Corfinio) and is now a co-cathedral in the Diocese of Sulmona-Valva.
The basilica was erected putatively on the site of the martyrdom of St Pelinus in the 7th century. The complex at the site includes the Romanesque-style Basilica initially built in 1235, but reconstructed over the centuries due to earthquake damage. In the 19th-century, a refurbishment stripped Baroque decoration and led to the bare stone interiors of the apse. The semicircular apse retains some 13th-century frescoes. Attached to the church is the Oratory of Sant'Alessandro, frescoed in the 14th-century, and putatively holding the burial site of pope Alexander I (109-119).

Each brigade (there were three) had a quota of two officers and fifty men.
Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away. In the 113th Illinois, the five companies had a quota of three man each. In Company B, Henry volunteered along with two friends Elisha Johns and Joseph Smith. The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment. The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed. Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor.

At the order of Company A's captain, Johndro charged single-handedly against a group of Confederate soldiers who were stationed at the top of a slight hill. The Confederate soldiers were cut off from the larger Confederate army, and so were unable to retreat; yet, their position allowed them to hold back Union advances. With nothing more than a bayoneted rifle in hand, Johndro advanced against heavy fire and captured forty Confederates as prisoner.
His Medal of Honor was issued on April 6, 1865. At the ceremony, his colonel was recorded as saying: "Johndro, if I owned this Medal of Honor and had won it in the way you did, I should think more of it than I do of the eagles that I carry on my shoulders."
