Dolmabahçe Mosque

The grave of the Ottoman Armenian Balyan family in Istanbul's Bağlarbaşı district, on the Asian side of the city, was recently rebuilt as a mausoleum. The Balyan family, who left their marks in many 19th century works of architecture certainly deserve such a mausoleum. 

Suspects in the Gezi park protests, including doctors, polluted a mosque by using it as a makeshift health center for injured protesters and by entering the building without removing their shoes, an Istanbul court has said in its reasoning for charges given to 244 suspects.

A local court in Istanbul has sentenced 244 participants in the 2013 Gezi protests to jail time for a range of crimes, including "polluting a mosque."
