After Hagia Sophia, the Turkish president is turning the historic Monastery of Chora, which functioned until today as a museum, into a mosque and has magnificent mosaics.
The images from the Hagia Sophia cause sadness, after its transformation into a mosque. Images that testify to the sloppiness and radical transformation of the image of this world monument.
Α possible Turkish government's decision turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque would signal a significantly important tension in the Greek-Turkish relations at the level of symbolism, stated Alternate Foreign Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis in an interview with SKAI TV earlier on Thursday.
