The mass-murderer responsible for the recent deaths of 50 people in
Christchurch, New Zealand, Brenton Tarrant, visited Turkey in 2016.
On 17 March of that year, Tarrant came to Istanbul and stayed in the
Merih Hotel on Alemdar Avenue in Fatih, right next to the Ayasofia
church-mosque. Tarrant paid 19 Euros per day for a room on the
second floor. He visited touristic sites in the area and left Turkey after
3 days. Because the hotel's management has changed since then, there
is no one there now who was working when Tarrant visited.
Role model.
Six months later, Tarrant came to Turkey again, arriving on 13
September. He went to Ağrı Doğubayazıt in Turkey's far east, on the
border with Armenia. From there Tarrant went to, in order, Sivas,
Tokat, Konya and Ankara. While in Tokat, Tarrant visited the Tokat
Fortress, where Ottoman Emperor Fatih Sultan Mehmet imprisoned
Eflak Prince Vlad the 3rd, known as "Vlad the Impaler".

Tarrant spent 4 days in Ankara and then arrived in Istanbul on 6
October, staying in room 303 in the Sinem Hotel in Fatih's Aksaray
neighborhood. After 3 days, Tarrant went to Edirne for 6 days,
touring historical sites in the region. Next, Tarrant went to Izmir
for 7 days and during this time he made a pilgrimage to nearby Selçuk,
where the Virgin Mary is said to have spent her final days.
While in Izmir, Tarrant also went to Çeşme, the site of the Russian
fleet's victory over the Ottomans on 6 July 1770. From Izmir,
Tarrant went to Erdemli in Mersin on the Mediterranean Sea coast
on 22 October. From there he went to Tel Aviv, Israel, on 26
October.
