    Monument to the war correspondents - the only one in the world. It was only the war correspondents' photos that alerted the public. Among the first photographers to document the events were the later Pulitzer Prize winner Kaveh Golestan, who witnessed the attack by the fighter planes from a distance, and the Turkish photographer Ramazan Öztürk. On March 21, 1988, Iranian authorities flew western journalists to Halabja by helicopter to inform the world. The journalists filmed and took photographs. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giftgasattack_auf_Halabdscha
