Summary
Armenian Genocide memorial.
Beneath modern Taksim Square once lay the Surp Agop (Pangalti) Armenian Cemetery, one of Istanbul’s largest Christian burial grounds. In 1919, the Armenian community erected the world’s first genocide memorial here, only to have it dismantled in 1922.
Most graves were later removed to make way for Gezi Park, erasing centuries of Armenian heritage.
