I think it looks lovely, and it's got to be better than just looking at a square bit of concrete. It's also a lovely memorial garden to the murdered student.

Apparently they have been taken down as they are indecent. (You could see their legs?)

Sorry to be a whinger... but maybe the money would be spent cleaning up the water in the bay that these overlook...?

I am quite proud that Fethiye, of all the places in Turkey, has invested in a memorial for Özgecan Aslan and that it was opened on International Women's Day.

The statue at the centre of the Memorial Park depicts a girl being lifted to the heavens by a phoenix. Özgecan's mother was in attendance and said a few words.

Nice post Nichola. It is a little ironic that people may be questioning what it has to do with Fethiye when the city itself is named after a famous Turk who had nothing to do with place.

Thanks Colwyn.

Latest news on the statues of the dancers is that they were removed because they dwarfed the main memorial statue and another location will be found for them! So says the Mayor.
