There're many of motives on relief. Its some kind of cultural map of Turkey. On the really right is symbol of turkish foreign policy too - "Peace at home Peace in the World" (Yurtta Baris, Cihanda Baris), but mainly it's all about heritage. We could find there Hagia Sophia, the Roman ruins, the ruins of Ephesus, Konya Mevlana, Ankara Castle (and other Ankara's buildings), Nemrut etc.
