This guy seems to be larger than life (no pun intended), basically the George Washington of Turkey from what I've read. Thanks for the ground level shot, Fred.

Is it actually there on the ground I wonder? It looks as if it is, but presumably the dam slopes down from the reservoir, which would make the letters upside down.

Could it be, that the record-breaking one has meanwhile gone and this is a newer, smaller version? Not sure how long-lived these portraits are.
