The Imam and the Christians

Country forums / Eastern Europe & the Caucasus / Turkey

Strife and intolerance seem to be everywhere these days but on TV last night I saw a news item about an imam who cleans a tiny ancient Armenian church close to his lodgings.Today I found this newspaper article about him.I know,not exactly travel related,but it just struck me as a tiny ray of hope and sunshine in this world seemingly so full of misery.

If we could all exercise just a little of this mans respect and tolerance I'm sure the world would be a much better place.
