Is UNESCO going to declare Istanbul “endangered heritage”?

Demolition of the historic Gypsy neighborhood, Sulukule, plans to build an underground metro line across the Golden Horn, a hotel construction over the ruins of the Grand Palace of the Byzantine Empire and other similar projects that impair Istanbul's historical and cultural heritage might cause UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization) to put the city on its list of World Heritage Sites in Danger.

News, etc.
