mosque_renovation, Larnaca, Cyprus, originally uploaded by nazarian.

This is the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque in Larnaca, Cyprus. It's located at the shore of the Salt Lake which is dry during most of the year. it's a peaceful and tranquil place.

The mosque is currently undergoing a renovation. In its usual Turkophile fashion, the government of the USA is the funding entity of this project. I hope the money stays in the free areas of Cyprus. The laborers are probably Turks imported from the occupied Northern Cyprus. I guess this is one way the US can funnel non-illegal money to their dear Turks.
