Erdoğan slams Austrian chancellor, move to shut mosques

Following a government decision to shut down seven mosques in Austria, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called on Austrian chancellor to reason. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said last week that the move came as part of a crackdown on "political Islam." Kurz stated that the investigation on several mosques and associations conducted by the Ministry of Interior and Office of Religious Affairs had been concluded and that the activities of seven mosques were found to be forbidden -- one of them belonging to the Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations (ATIB).
