The neighborhood is fed up and tired! Addicts have taken over the historic mosque.

The images taken in the Muratpaşa Mosque, which was built in Antalya in 1570, in the last 2 months are drawing the reaction of the locals in the region. The pitiful appearance of drug and alcohol addicts is reflected in the mobile phone images.

A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS

The Muratpaşa Mosque, which has a history of approximately 500 years in Antalya, has become a place for drug addicts and alcohol users. The images, which are said to have been taken in the last two months, include the pitiful moments of drug addicts. The Muratpaşa Mosque, which was built in 1570 in Antalya and is one of the oldest structures from the Ottoman period, has recently become a place for drug and substance addicts. The stairs leading to the garden, toilet section, and storage section of the mosque, which is a popular place for thousands of citizens and tourists throughout the day, are used by drug users. The local shopkeepers and the mosque congregation are disturbed by the images that have emerged.

THE MOSQUE BECOMES THE RESIDENCE OF DOZENS OF ADDICTS

In the images recorded at various points inside the mosque in the last 2 months, moments of individuals using drugs and experiencing crises due to drug use are captured on mobile phone cameras. The locals stated that dozens of drug and alcohol addicts come to the mosque during the day, and although they reported it, the individuals were only removed at that moment, and then they returned again.

In the moments recorded by the locals with their mobile phones, images of a person using a syringe for drug use on his arm and another person in a state of being under the influence of drugs are reflected in the images. The locals said that just a short while ago, 5 people had a fight, and the security ran inside but got stabbed.
