I know, but that mosque is not even a modern mosque. It's Neo-Ottoman architecture. It's clear what Erdogan's goals are, but it's not like the clowns at the top care.

In a country that was under Ottoman rule for 600 years, you build the biggest religious building in the capital, in neo-Ottoman architecture.Plako wrote:Migjeni wrote:I thought the mosque in Tirana was a modern one? - I believe it was the BIG studio who won with their design?

Nobody cares about the architecture, the more concerning part is that it's built with Turkish money. I do see the need for a mosque but for non practicing Albanians this is abut too much.

It's been reported for years. It's being funded by foundations close to Erdogan (Diyanet). Erdogan came last year to "inaugurate" it.Migjeni wrote:How do we know it's being built with Turkish money?Plako wrote:Nobody cares about the architecture, the more concerning part is that it's built with Turkish money.
