The story of this statue immortalized by history
After the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, France entered the state (Kahramanmaraş) in southern Turkey, and all Turkish women were wearing the veil at the time..
The ruling French general saw Turkish women fermenting and said to them: The state of your caliphate has gone, and now you are under French rule, so take off the veil.. so the women refused to take off the veil..
So he extended his hand to take off the veil from a woman, and there was a Turkish man near him who was selling milk. His name was Imam Sotjo (meaning Sotjo: milk, meaning Sotgo: milk seller) and if the milk seller (imam) took him the diet of the Muslim and changed him on women, so he took the pistol from the general's belt and killed him with it. .
After this incident, there was a massive revolution that led to the expulsion of the French enemy, and the liberation of the city of Qahraman Marash.
Later on, a statue was erected named (Imam Sotjo, editor of Marash State), in which a picture of a veiled woman appears, the general holds the veil, and the hero is an imam who kills him with a pistol.. And the story of the hero is an imam taught in schools..
And there is now a Turkish university called (Imam Sotjo)
As well as many endowments and charities bear his name.
