Prince Edward expresses sympathies over Ankara attack during Istanbul visit

Prince Edward, 51, has expressed his deepest sympathies for the Turkish people following the deadly terror attacks at a peace rally in the capital Ankara, which killed at least 99 people and wounded more than 200. 

"These [events] are [a] reminder of why we must all stick together," Prince Edward said during his visit to the Tarabya British School in Istanbul on Oct. 15.  

Another Byzantine structure rescued in Istanbul

The traces of a large cistern have been found during the construction of a hotel on land owned by the Armenian Catholic Mıhitaryan Monastery and School Foundation in Istanbul’s Şişli Halaskargazi neighborhood.

The historical structure, which was about to be buried by construction vehicles, was rescued at the last minute after being noticed by an observer.
