Erzurum Atatürk House Museum
The mansion where Mustafa Kemal and his companions worked for 52 days in 1919, during the Erzurum Congress, now a museum of the National Struggle.
About the museum
This mansion was built in the late nineteenth century for one of Erzurum's notables. In 1915 and 1916 it served for nine months as the German consulate, and after Erzurum was freed on 12 March 1918 it was placed at the governor's disposal. In July 1919, after Governor Münir Akkaya left, Hüseyin Rauf and his companions worked here with Mustafa Kemal for 52 days, laying foundations for the Turkish National Struggle.
During the Erzurum Congress Mustafa Kemal spoke of the changes ahead and is recorded as saying that after victory the regime would be the Republic. In 1924, shortly after the Republic was declared, Atatürk came to Erzurum with his wife Latife after an earthquake, and on 30 September the key to the city and the deed to this house were presented to him.
Inside are the printing machine used for Albayrak, the National Struggle's newspaper, the Erzurum Congress communique, documents, photographs and clothes, and personal belongings of Raif Dinç, Kazım Yurdalan and Kazım Karabekir.
