Geographically, the Turkish mausoleum was located in Taksham until 2015, under the Lausanne Treaty, Turkey was allowed to plant a flag and post honor guards at his mausoleum. Due to the civil war in Syria and the fighters of the Islamic State, the shrine has now been moved inside Turkey, as there was a threat that it would be attacked by the Islamic State, which would force Turkey to Take military action. This step was taken to avoid this. This shrine was earlier moved from one place to another in the 1970s as well.💕
