Belated step towards first official Athens mosque

A month after denying reports that Turkey will pay for the construction of Athens’ first official purpose-built mosque, the government has finally announced it will publish a tender for this long-awaited and controversial project. The 1m euro tender will soon be published on the government’s Diavgeia website for the construction of a mosque (without minarets) on a vacant lot of a disused naval base in Eleonas, west of Athens.
