tourism in that small village? mosque or no mosque it wont help...

am going to apostolos antreas tomorrow it will be the first time i ever go that far into the north... of course we will take our own food and not buy anything over there

According to the article, tourists are already coming. The village wants more of them

PS - I thought there might be a moral here for the authorities in the north. There is money to be made from preserving non-Muslim cultural and religious heritage.

I think the mosque is the two-story building whose walls have been painted a peach colour. This is clearly a separate and much newer construction.

Trust Oracle to get the wrong end of the stick and jump the gun in one post.

Unfortunately Oracle was not far off the mark Yfred.

I saw a program on TV (UK) which showed the gradual eradication of Armenian culture in the lake Van district.

The areas around the lake was once inhabited by Armenians and was littered with churches and monasteries. By a series of photographs you couls see how these religious buildings were slowly but surely eradicated. While watching the destruction of these buildings someone walked into the TV room and noticed it. I changed chanels immediately. We had just come from our last Turkish holiday. It was embarrassing to say the least.
These were carved stone buildings, so we cannot blame weathering. Just like the stone mosque in our village. It wasnt the weather but human hands. I am sure with your skill at search you might find clips on You Tube.

About six years ago I was in Digor sub-province in Kars, close to the border with present-day Armenia. I was looking for a place called Beş Kilise (Five Churches) where five ancient Armenian churches stood together in a remote valley. We found a local shepherd who took us cross country to the right place. When we got there, he said, "This was where the churches used to be, but people kept on taking the stones to build houses and now there is nothing left."

Thats it TIM Bes Kilise. That was what the program included. One wonders if there was any tacit approval by the gov. of the goings on.

Standard practice of any country, it's called recycling. The Egyptians did the same with the marble of the Pyramids. As much as we would to look for scapegoats, the explanation is probably because it was easier and cheaper to do that than pay for new materials. It’s only when the value to these structures are realised that people stop that sort of practice.

They serve Lahmacun and kebabs. The lahmacuns are delicious.

Your driver might stop (I think he will) at Rizokarpaso at a Greek Cypriot Kafenion for refreshments.
