Archaelogical artfacts founds in Istanbul are on display as people visit after the restoration of the Galata Tower on October 16, 2020 in Istanbul. - The Galata Tower -- an emblematic 14th century monument of Istanbul -- has become the latest victim of such controversy. The demolition of one of its walls with a jackhammer as part of a restoration work was narrowly avoided last August after a video leaked on social media, which sparked strong criticism from the largest city's residents.

Turks bristle at botched heritage renovations
Ranj Abderrahman Cohen, an Iraqi Kurdish Jewish man, walks next to a ruined Jewish synagogue in Arbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, on July 5, 2020. - Jews were historically Iraq's second-largest religious sect, comprising 40 percent of Baghdad's population according to a 1917 census. But since the creation of Israel in 1948, regional tensions skyrocketed and anti-Semitic campaigns took hold, pushing most of Iraq's Jews to flee. Today, Iraqis have fond memories of Jewish friends and neighbours, including 82-year-old Farhadi, whose father owned a shop in a Jewish-majority district of Arbil. (Photo by SAFIN HAMED / AFP)
