VP, are you gonna tell me that these churches were the only places that the 'opressed' and 'poverty stricken' TC / Turks could use to relieve themselves...because the RoC prevented them from having toilets?

The RoC DOES look after mosques...just take the Halla Sultan Tekke mosque for example
We came to the Yalova mosque, which had a minaret. The door of the mosque, where there were two big columns with a staircase on each side of the entrance, was locked. It was not possible to enter the mosque through here.
We walked round the mosque. When we came to the garden at the back, we saw a Turkish bath that had became a part of the mosque. We went inside through the window of the Turkish bath. Although, from the outside the Turkish bath looked to be in good condition the inside was very dirty and neglected.
Inside of the Turkish bath we found an entrance leading to the mosque. Including the mosque’s pulpit, everything inside was broken and randomly scattered about. It must have been turned into a mosque from a church because there were frescos on the inside walls. Following this area, which resembled a long corridor, was the main door and from here we went into the main section of the mosque, which previously we couldn’t enter because it was closed. This section was also extremely dirty and neglected and had basically been left to its own fate. From the empty drink bottles that were thrown about everywhere, it was obvious that the place had been used as a stop over by people on a night out. After seeing these dreadful sights, we now understood why the door and windows of the Yalova mosque were firmly closed.
His pain doubled when he saw that all the trees were dry. We continued with our observations in Tabanlı and found the Mosque. The Mosque was also a victim of neglect. Its doors and windows were all broken and inside was full of pigeon nests and faeces. We could hardly walk around the Mosque because it was surrounded by overgrown weeds and thorns.
We couldn’t find the Mosque in the Yakacık village but we found the village primary school, which was in an area where one could see the sea and the whole village. Actually, what we found was not in fact the school but, its walls, or in other words, its foundation. The school’s windows, doors and roof had all been destroyed. Everything was destroyed and in ruins, there were dead animals everywhere. A horrible picture and smell. A house on the left side of the school had also been turned into an animal shelter.
