Sanaa Turkish Memorial Cemetery

The Sana'a Turkish Memorial Cemetery (Turkish: Yemen-Türk Şehitliği) is a burial ground of Ottoman soldiers in Sana'a, Yemen.

Inaugurated in 2011 after renovation, the Turkish Memorial Cemetery holds remains of soldiers, who fell during World War I,[1] and commemorates the four-centuries-long presence of Ottoman Empire in Yemen.[2][3] It is situated next to the former Ottoman Army barracks in the Yemeni capital city, today General Staff headquarters of the Yemen Armed Forces.[4] Turkish high officials visiting Yemen pay tribute at the cemetery.[5][6][7]
