One more New palace ready in Istanbul for Turkish
As the cost of Turkey’s new presidential palace, unofficially known as the “Ak Saray” continues to stir controversy due to its astronomical cost in tandem with its gargantuan size, restoration work on an old palace that is reportedly set to become the president’s office in Istanbul has ended.
The historic Vahdettin mansion, home to the last Ottoman Sultan Vahideddin (also known as Mehmed VI), has been renovated after four months of rapid work? (See Photo above transformation in Nine year!)
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reportedly selected the mansion as his possible new office in Istanbul, but there has been no official confirmation yet for the future use of the building.
The mansion, located in the quiet Asian Istanbul neighborhood of Çengelköy and facing the Bosphorus, is not far from Erdoğan’s personal home in the city.
Erdoğan visited the mansion and checked on the restoration works in July, lending weight to suggestions that the compound could become his Istanbul office. Hmmmm.......Has to compete with the Qataris . Read the full story here.
