VANT OFFICIAL AUTHORITIES
Declarant: Fehim Çalgav T.R. Identity Number: 556 360 729 14 Address: Sakızağacı Sokak No:11, 34844 Maltepe, Istanbul / TURKEY
Subject of Statement: An objection, complaint, and inspection request regarding the conversion of commercial retail properties into places of worship (church, synagogue formats) across three distinct locations within an area of less than one square kilometer (one hectare) in central Maltepe, alongside the operation of commercial shops directly beneath the Maltepe Central Mosque, resulting in the conflation of worship and commercial functions.
Statement Text: Within an area of less than one square kilometer in central Maltepe, Istanbul, I have observed that commercial shop units—both in the vicinity of Feyzullah Primary School and on the ground floors of redeveloped properties—have been converted into assembly and worship spaces resembling churches and synagogues in violation of zoning plans and licensing regulations. In this immediate vicinity, commercial shops also operate directly beneath the Maltepe Central Mosque. I condemn this structural conflation of places of worship with direct commercial shop retail, which contradicts zoning legislation and occupancy permitting standards. I hereby request an immediate administrative, municipal inspection, and financial audit of the real properties at these three locations with respect to their commercial operating licenses, building occupancy permits, and designated zoning functions.
I declare that the information I have given is correct and complete. I accept all legal and administrative responsibilities arising from this statement.
