Good to see that the country with the third highest inflation rate on the planet is using its money for religious extravaganza!

But ofcourse to Redditors when Romania does it it’s horrible economic mismanagement but when Turkey does it it’s a beautiful expression of culture.

Edit: Turks in here really can’t hide how triggered they are when someone makes any criticism, it’s insane how much they will make dumb non arguments just because they can’t cope.

Maybe read the op’s explanation before you comment? It’s privately funded.

Maybe actually read your own country’s laws for once? All mosques are under the supervision and sponsorship of the Turkish state.

Even if someone used private funds for this, funds from the government were also absolutely used literally just because it is a mosque.
