The court sentenced the man who tore the cross from gates of an Armenian church in Istanbul to 1 year and 4 months in prison.

This man was convicted under the Turkish criminal code article on "damaging religious structures or graves;" but considering that he regrets his act, it was decided to release him, Agos Armenian weekly of Istanbul reported.

To note, the respective court verdict quoted a verse from the Quran, which states that those who believe in and worship other than Allah should not be offended, as they will also offend Allah out of ignorance.
