Tursko leto - strukture saraja

A top Turkish court ruled Friday that the 1934 conversion of the Hagia Sophia into a museum was unlawful.

It canceled a 1934 cabinet decision and ruled that the UNESCO World Heritage site should be reopened to Muslim worship.

The decision was in line with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s calls to turn the site into a mosque despite international criticism. The United States and Orthodox Christian leaders are among those that have not approved of the decision.

Soon after the ruling, Erdogan signed a decree to open the Hagia Sophia as a mosque.

"The decision was taken to hand over the management of the Ayasofya Mosque ... to the Direcorate of Religious Affairs and open it for worship," the decision signed by Erdogan said.

Turkey's Erdogan says first Muslim prayers at #HagiaSophia will be on July 24 time after he decreed it will be mosque again today. Says now free to enter. "Like all of our mosques it will be open to all visitors, foreign & Turkish" he says & urges crowds to not rush monument #now

Erdogan reiterates decision on #HagiaSophia is Turkey's sovereign choice & urges rest of world to respect its independence. Their concern should be about anti-Islam sentiment and xenophobia he says.

Preparation to transform 6th-C monument into mosque will take 6 months he says

Erdogan quotes in Persian Sultan Mehmet who conquered Istanbul after he took Hagia Sophia & is speaking in front of the 15th century sultan's decree that made church a mosque.

"I believe we have done an important service to our people by opening Hagia Sophia to prayer" he says

Erdogan says an unparalleled 435 churches & synagogues still function in Muslim Turkey, showing Islam's tolerance of other faiths.

Turks' contributions to #HagiaSophia in 500 years it was mosque are important as its construction as a church 1500 years ago, he says.

Ruska diplomatija ocenila je danas da je prenamena Aja Sofije u Istanbulu iz muzeja u džamiju "unutrašnje pitanje" te zemlje.

"Smatramo da je to unutrašnje pitanje Turske. Ni mi, niti bio ko, ne treba u to da se meša", rekao je pomoćnik šefa diplomatije Sergej Verhinin, prenosi agencija Ria Novosti.

Prema njegovim rečima, Rusija ipak ističe važnost te lokacije sa stanovišta svetske kulture i baštine.

Ferruh Mustuer je imenovan za prvog imama ponovo otvorene džamije Aja Sofija u Istanbulu.

Ferruh je inače hafiz Časnog Kur'ana porijeklom iz Bosne i Hercegovine i govori tečnim bosanskim jezikom. Također, navodi se kako često i posjećuje našu državu.
Podsjetimo, Vrhovni sud Turske poništio je odluku Vijeća ministara iz 1934. kojom je džamija Aja Sofija pretvorena u muzej.

The transformation of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul into a mosque is ‘a slap in the face of the world Christianity’, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations (DECR), stated to TASS Russian state news agency.
‘The internal political situation in Turkey and the factors that have prompted the Turkish leaders to make such a decision can be given different assessments. But the spiritual and cultural heritage of the whole world should not become a hostage to a current political situation. It is too bad that a political expediency has come out on top of the respect for other religious traditions. The transformation of Hagia Sophia into a mosque is the Turkish leaders’ slap in the face of the Orthodox Church and the whole world Christianity’, His Eminence said to the agency.
