On May 2, one of the districts of the Crimean Bakhchisaray, vandals attacked the mosque Khan-Jami Chair: having broken the door, they tore up copies of the Quran and tried to burn them, UNIAN reports.

“Unknown persons broke the mosque door, entered the room, took off the shelves the copies of the Quran, tore them up and tried to burn.
