No just No. Majority of the Orthodox countries hate Turkey and they hate Muslims. Even if we give Hagia Sophia it will not change anything.

Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Russia are all Orthodox countries and they hate Turks and Muslims. You Pakistanis know nothing about history.

They are our enemies if Turkey was weak or if a time comes and Turkey collapses these countries will not spare one Turk. They would literally wipe us out from the face of the earth they literally want this. Orthodox christians getting hagia sophia back is like spitting on Fatih Sultan Mehmet and the Turks who fought and died.

Their so called orthodox priests even have prophecies that Turkey will collapse under a Greek-Russian alliance.

We are not handing anything to them.

I think you are just showing your own prejudices. Millions of “orthodox” people from Russia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Ukraine come to Turkey for vacation each year. I’m not sure why people that supposedly hate Turks so much visit Turkey. Slavs and Christians don’t hold grudges and forgot easily. Most Russians have zero hard feeling towards Germans despite the fact that they killed, starved, deported and bombed tens of millions of Russians in ww2.



There is 12 million Turic people that live in Russia, with millions more Muslims. There is no widespread systematic descriptions or hate against anyone.

Ayasofya is a museum in Turkey, and people that wants to visit that museum are not asked like if they are muslim or if they are orthodox etc You just take a ticked and get in. It doesn't belong to one "religion". It's a historical building that being used as a historical museum and everyone that can legally stay in Turkey can go and visit it.

Hagia Sophia must remain a museum.
It's one of the greatest decisions made by Atatürk.

Just make sure to name and shame those who offer prayers there. They maybe doing a duty to God, but committing a sin towards humanity.

What? After taking over Constantinople Fatih Sultan Mehmet declared himself as the leader of orthodox world.. How about that?

After the Fall of Constantinople, Mehmed claimed the title of Roman Caesar (Kayzer-i Rûm), since Byzantium was the successor of the Roman Empire after the transfer of its capital to Constantinople in 330 AD. Mehmed also had blood lineage to the Byzantine imperial family, as his predecessors like Sultan Orhan I had married a Greek princesses. He was not the only ruler to claim such a title, as there was the Holy Roman Empire in Western Europe, whose emperor, Frederick III, traced his titular lineage from Charlemagne who obtained the title of Roman Emperor when he was crowned by Pope Leo III in 800.

Reference is made to the prospective conquest of Constantinople in an authentic hadith, attributed to a saying of the Prophet Muhammad(S.A.V). "Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will he be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!". Ten years after the conquest of Constantinople Mehmed II visited the site of Troy and boasted that he had avenged the Trojans by having conquered the Greeks (Byzantines).

As for the Hagia Sophia, Fatih Mehmed has left us a letters testamentary. In Turks, the concept of foundation is sacred and can not be changed. The concept of Hagia Sophia and Istanbul describes the new world order of Fatih. To announce center of the new world, and what social laws they would adopt. In the period of Yavuz Selim, this understanding was reinforced: Istanbul became the center of both Islam and eastern Christians. At the same time Istanbul was the new home of the Seferad Jews who were plundered from Europe.
