The Hagia Sophia, originally a cathedral and then an Ottoman Mosque, was turned into a museum by Ataturk in 1935 and has remained as one since. However, President Erdogan has been hinting at turning it back into a Mosque since 2018. Today, July 10, an official order was signed declaring Ataturk's action illegal, and restoring Hagia Sophia into a working Mosque. Today the first call to prayer was sounded from its minarets:
My sincere congratulations to the Turkish people and leadership for staying true to their word despite "warnings" from Greece, Russia, and others dissatisfied with the restoration.
