Turkey's Cankaya Presidential Palace in Ankara was confiscated from the Ghasabian Armenian family, although Turkey claims the memorial palace was donated by the citizens of Ankara to Mustapha Kemal Ataturk. After its confiscation, the building was auctioned and eventually became the property of a Turk. A Turkish government decree and the National Security Council forbid any mention of properties illegally taken from non-Turks. The land on which the Incirlik Military Base (near Adana) is built belongs to an Armenian family. The land was confiscated during the Genocide. The base hosts the largest number of US soldiers in Turkey.
