More than 50000 people died there in one of the fiercest fights of WWI and many of those people was buried there without a grave. So those lands are treated as graveyards of martyrs, and therefore have historical and cultural importance.

Turkish people would not accept building the bridge and the roads there even if it was cheaper.

You mean the Martyrs' Memorial in Çardak? I guess. It still has a big highway going through the town (which is what this bridge connects to regardless), and I would think a suspension bridge would look very nice and respectful in the background of this view:
