With deep regret and sorrow, we heard President Erdogan of Turkey announce,  that the UNESCO World Heritage Site Hagia Sophia one of the greatest symbols of Christianity, is being converted into a Mosque!

Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox Cathedral and Byzantine Monument for almost one thousand years before the Ottoman occupation of Constantinople in 1453 and was decreed a museum by the secular Mustafa Kemal, after the establishment of the Turkish state in 1934.

Millions of people of all religions from around the world have visited this 1483-year-old architectural masterpiece where some of the Byzantine iconographies have been restored and the appreciation of faith has served as a powerful symbol of dialogue.

We denounce this decision by a Turkish court and ratified by the Turkish Assembly and President to convert this property of universal value into a mosque and, thus, desecrate its Christian legacy.

By signing this petition, you agree to return Hagia Sophia to its museum status as supported by all international organizations.

We demand from Turkey to maintain the Christian interior and iconography unchanged otherwise international organizations, states and fora will proceed with legal sanctions against the Turkish government and workers who participate in the cultural destruction.

This policy of religious extremism is dangerous and threatens world peace!
