At the end of the day, the Church is in Turkey. Ultimately only the Turks will decide what to do with it.
(My Christian mum was named specifically after this church) Sophia
shit happens.
yes hagi sophia status is about turkey's sovereign right it is off the discussion table. how did turkey act irresponsibly? hagia sophia was a big cathedral during the byzantine era which was later changed into mosque after emperor mehmet 2 laid a seige on constantinople and conquered it in 1453, not only hagia sophia was converted into mosques other churches like chora church, rotonda, and hagios demetrios were converted into mosques too.
majority of the churches were destroyed or converted to mosques over time. it was mustapha kemal attaturk the new leader of turkey who turned hagia sophia and other byzantine structures to museum.
