    Armenian church built in the 10th century, which was later converted into a mosque. It is the only converted church in Turkey that does not have a minaret. Inside the church on the gallery there are statues of the 12 apostles, but they are not accessible.

    It's a shame it has been converted to a mosque when it isn't actually used. Why not allow it to be a church and allow Christians to pay their respects ?

    The UK is full of mosques and I begin to realise why the right-wing in UK is increasing in popularity.

    Sorry but UK needs to be more like Turkey (ie get rid of the mosques).

    There is a sign in Church of the 12 Apostles which is quite revealing w.r.t. intentions of some Islamists .

    Turkey cannot become part of EU when it allows attitudes like this.
