Turks Tidy Up Jerusalem Legacy
(Daily Sabah-Turkey) A delegation of 110 people has gone to Jerusalem to clean ancient Ottoman buildings and repair mosques constructed during the Ottoman rule in Jerusalem. President Erdogan has urged the nation to visit Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to protect the Muslim identity of the holy site. "We need to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque often, each day that Jerusalem has it under occupation is an insult to us," he said.
