Turkey's Religious Affairs (Diyanet) Foundation plans to repair dozens of mosques in Syria that have been heavily damaged by the country's ongoing war, according to the head of foundation.        

Mustafa Tutkun told Anadolu Agency on April 23 that the state-run foundation was planning to construct and repair 66 mosques in cooperation with the Prime Ministry.        

After the Turkish president said a mosque would be appropriate on the spot where he claims that Muslims discovered the Americas, a site has reportedly been allocated for a mosque’s construction in the Cuban capital Havana.
