As religion goes, Turkey is a historical contact point between Islam and Orthodoxy. Many Islamic friends active on TA.
Now let us see how historical relics from both religions have been treated under 'Muslim Conservative, AKP's Turkey...
Let's start with old Muslim relics in Turkey:
This is the situation of one of the oldest mosque in Turkey which is located in far eastern Turkey, Kars province. Munejehr mosque.

Now even more interesting.
The government is often proud of its construction works.
This is the turbe of Hassani Basri in Erzurum (eastern Turkey), a Muslim scholar who spread Islam among folks there.
It's about to disappear in midst of TOKI residential constructions.
