Palancıoğlu said, “You can see madrasas, mosques, inns and baths from the
Seljuk period in every corner of Kayseri.Tourism is now
possible in many areas. We share with you the Seljuk Monument, which we have
designed as a double-headed eagle as a Seljuk symbol.We need to stimulate
tourism somehow. When we discuss this issue, the Great Seljuk State emerges.
Kayseri is a Seljuk city. Our Melikgazi is a district that took its name from
the Seljuks. We serve a town full of Seljuk artifacts. In this regard, we
wanted to make a Seljuk Square and Monument.When the Seljuks are
mentioned, sincerity, trust, struggle and modesty come to mind. Seljuk has many
values. The double-headed eagle of the Seljuk emerges as an element representing
government and power. This project has not been approved yet. After conducting
a public opinion poll, we will implement this monument and square project.Our monument, which
covers an area of 730 square meters and is 10 meters high and 15 meters wide
will be surrounded by a gathering area under a large square and areas to take
photos around. We especially want Erciyes Mountain to be behind the Monument.
There should be a symbol representing Kayseri. The Seljuk Monument should leave
its mark on Kayseri. We want to attract tourists coming to the city to this
area. I think it is important to make the Seljuk Square and Monument in Kayseri
important to emphasize that Kayseri is a Seljuk city. On this occasion, we will
present it to the public's appreciation. We will conduct surveys on social
media and ask the public whether it will suitable to Kayseri." said
