Most people will have a basic knowledge of what happened at Gallipoli between Australian and New Zealand forces and the Turkish army, so it's not really surprising that the site has a high cultural and historic significance to most Australians and New Zealanders.

Recently, roadworks were conducted through the area which is now a national park, with the approval of the Australian government.

There is now a fuss going on because other works were carried out which have exhumed the remains of some ANZAC soldiers.

I understand that it's not a pleasant situation to have occured, and I'm sure all involved would have preferred not to have to deal with this issue, but I'm at a loss as to why the Australian government should have any say in where another country puts its roads, regardless of the significance of the site to Australian people.

Am I being heartless or do you think it's reasonable?
