From a castle in Gaziantep to a citadel in Aleppo, as rescuers search desperately for survivors after the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, concerns were also growing Tuesday for some of the region’s most cherished historic sites.
UNESCO, the United Nations cultural agency, said in a statement that it was carrying out a survey of the affected areas and discovered many had either been damaged or collapsed completely.
“My condolences go out to the families and loved ones of those who died. My thoughts are also with the injured and all those affected. Our Organization will provide assistance within its mandate,” UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said in the statement.
But the agency is worried too about the region’s precious heritage.
The ancient Syrian city of Aleppo, where towers and walls have survived ancient and modern wars, has been badly affected. The city’s famous Citadel, a World Heritage Site, was damaged; it had only recently been repaired following the fierce street fighting of the battle for Aleppo in 2012, part of the long-running and still ongoing civil war in the country.
Most of what was left of the Citadel was built in the 12th and 13th centuries A.D. by the Ayyubid dynasty — founded by Saladin, famed for his battles with the Christian Crusaders — but it bears the marks of the Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. more
So, are they saying that executing people for the crime of being Christian and bowing down on prayer rugs 5 times a day to worship Satan isn’t working?
The Muslims partied in the streets when allah knocked down three buildings in NYC and historic Christian sites around the world. OTOH Christians did no such thing when Almighty God demolished three Muslim cities and their sacred castle and citadel by shaking the earth.
I do not care!
I’m not sorry for being brutally honest.
I don’t care at all. I don’t wish them ilk but we got too many problems at home to care about turkeys. I don’t care. If your offended, so what, send your next paycheck to turkey for relief… if not you’re just a fraudster.
But me, I am honest, I don’t care!
Tit for Tat:
The Yeni Camii, or New Mosque, in Malatya partially collapsed in the tremors Monday, its great domes lying in ruin.
The mosque had only just recovered and reopened for worship after suffering damage in a 2020 earthquake. The mosque stands on the site of the Hacı Yusuf Mosque, which was itself destroyed by an earthquake in 1893.

What they did to us on our soil was a physical attack on Americans. We had nothing to do with their EQ, but I believe God’s hand was in there working.
Of the 2,977 fatal victims, 2,753 were killed in the World Trade Center and the surrounding area, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania. These deaths included 246 on the four planes. The attacks on the World Trade Center made the September 11 attacks the deadliest terrorist act in world history.
Now what we are looking at for the death toll in Turkey & Syria:
Turkey-Syria earthquake death toll rises to more than 11,000 – BBC News
How many of those 11,000 were dancing in the street when the WTC was hit? Think about it. The Turkey/Syria earthquake set them back hundreds of years. We recovered quickly.
They’re serious animal lovers. Go figure.
Must have run out of child virgins in Muslim heaven.
Evidence has serious people questioning if this was an earthquake.
Don’t fall for the kneejerk stories. Haven’t you seen enough reason, over the last 40 years…, to question everything?
@Anonymous: No questions here for me about Turkey or any Muzzie country. How many Christians have the Muzzies killed since their arrival in 700 AD. 700 years after Christ’s crucifixion the Muzzies founded Islam. The genocide of Christians by the Islamic State involves the systematic mass murder of Christian minorities, within the regions of Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Libya controlled by the Islamic terrorist group Islamic State. Persecution of Christian minorities climaxed following the Syrian civil war and later by its spillover.
No one condemns the satanic cult of mohameddans more than I. What I referred to was the videod evidence that this played out like no other earthquake. Rubble wasn’t strewed from buildings, stayed on them. Nearby pedestrians didn’t fall from standing despite the magnitude and length of the seism….. nothing to do with damned islum.
