Remember that park they wanted to save in Turkey? Come to find out it's built on top of an old Armenian cemetery.
"..The Pangaltı cemetery was demolished in the 1930s and in 1939 its marble tombstones were sold and used to build the Gezi Park's fountains and stairs..."
Isn't that nice?

Maybe it should go back to being a cemetery?
