Erdogan's Decree: Hagia Sophia became a mosque

91

On July 10, the Turkish State Council decided that Hagia Sophia will change its official status - it will again turn from a museum into a mosque. Thus, the Council canceled the decree of the authorities of the country of November 24, 1934 on giving the temple museum status. This was reported by the Turkish agency Anadolu.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed the corresponding decree.



Earlier, the prospect of converting Hagia Sophia into a Muslim temple was concerned about public organizations and officials from France, Greece, the United States and Russia. On June 6, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill noted that maintaining the status of a museum by the cathedral is important for Christians around the world - this could serve to strengthen harmony and peace between Christianity and Islam, as well as the successful development of cultural ties and relations between the Russian and Turkish peoples.

Saint Sophia Cathedral is one of the most visited tourist attractions of Istanbul. It was built by the Byzantine emperor Justinian in 532-537 in Constantinople (formerly the Byzantine name of Istanbul) - in this way the glory of the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire was immortalized. In 1453, the city was captured by the Ottomans, and the cathedral was converted into a mosque. In 1934, the government of Kemal Ataturk passed a decree according to which the status of a museum was given to St. Sophia Cathedral. In 1985, Hagia Sophia became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Turkish President Erdogan previously pointed out the need to re-make a mosque out of a majestic temple so that tourists can visit this cultural and historical monument without paying money. In Greece, the Turkish leader reacted very negatively to this idea, calling it an insult to both admirers of the Christian religion and the international community as a whole.

    We are waiting for the stormy reaction of the world community.
    It’s time for the Greeks to remember that they are descendants of proud Romans; by the way, their church is not separated from the state.
    Local church leadership, how is it? Which sells thermoses? However, it doesn’t matter; she should immediately turn to the Ukrainian authorities. Surely the leaders of the Orthodox state are outraged, am they will then explain to Erdogan that he is wrong. Yes

                In those days, the Old Testament did not even have them in the project of conception. The meaning of the biblical parable about Sodom and Gomorrah is that Judaism is extremely hostile, to say the least, to non-traditional sexual orientation and drugs. Therefore, the horrors of the punishment of the heroes of this parable are described. Regarding the countries of Islam and the prevalence of non-traditional sexual orientation: there is nothing supernatural or even more national. There are objective reasons why this phenomenon is present.
                1. Not all citizens of Islamic countries can afford to marry due to the constraint. Moreover, their wealthier compatriots, according to the Qur'an, have four wives and any number of concubines. Not enough for everyone. In countries such as Yemen, the custom of killing first-born girls is still common. In China, by the way, too. This is where the roots of the phenomenon come from, by the way, bestiality too.
                2. Unconventional sexual orientation in Islamic countries is officially considered a shame. But for some reason, it does not concern relations with young boys.
                3. Each nation has its own traditions. There is a monograph by V. Panova and Bakhtin "The Life of Muhammad", by the way, written very, very tolerantly towards Islam. It states that the last wife of the prophet, Aisha, married him at the age of five. This is a well-known fact. Nowadays in Europe it is called pedophilia. And it is punishable by law. And in the countries of Islam to this day, the initial marriageable age of girls is from seven to 12 years.

                  It’s just that the emphasis here is on Muslims. Therefore, I wrote what I wrote.
                  In all religions, homosexual relationships are not welcome (to say the least). In Judaism too. True, recently under the influence of all kinds of blue movements, even in Judaism, attempts have been made to justify homosexuality. True, with the caveat that homosexuals must be treated with love and understanding, but their example should not be followed.
                  How all this is realized in real life - you can always find examples of pros and cons. What happened in the Middle Ages in Europe is generally indescribable. And ancient Rome with its orgies in general overshadowed everything that was before and after.

                  I don’t understand how the conversation about Hagia Sophia turned to homosexual relations ....
                  Translation of the conversation into the differences between Jews, Greeks, Muslims and others, in my understanding, is the most striking manifestation of xenophobia. The division of people into "ours" and "not ours." By God, B.A. Didenko was right in his definition of homo sapiens.

                    This is just the same explainable. They wanted to tease, this is by and large a transition to personalities. With the same success, and neither to the village, nor to the city, it was possible to tell about the same phenomenon among the personnel of the Navy of various countries that are on long journeys. Therefore, I expressed myself in the sense that individuals, including Slavs (Bosnians), professing Islam, or Turks, professing Christianity (Chuvashs) are no different in the context of non-traditional sexual relations. If homosexuality is more prevalent in Arab countries, it is only because of the smaller number of women per capita of the male population, so to speak. There was no such phenomenon in the Central Asian and Caucasian republics of the Soviet era.

                  "Ancestors of Muslims" is an expression that must be carved in stone. Roughly the same can be said about the "ancestors of the Jews" living in Sodom.
                  Let me explain. It seems to me that before Moses and Muhammad no "ancestors" simply existed.

                    To draw a line under the theme of non-traditional relations, I will give an example from real life. In the 90s. on business, I had to get acquainted with the conditions of detention in Israeli prisons of Arabs sitting for involvement in terror. Among them were people decomp. age, level of education, social status. And the degree of involvement of prisoners in terrorist activities was different - some organized and planned terrorist attacks, others engaged in weapons and explosives, while others simply used blindly and their status was much lower. A prison, as has long been noted, is an accurate reflection of society as a whole. So, if in Russian places of deprivation of liberty passive buggers are despised outcasts, then among Arabs-prisoners they are quite normative members of the community, and those who serve any of the leaders generally respected as the wife of a respectable person. So it goes...

        Greeks are not descendants of the Romans. Greeks are Romans. Ellin in the Middle Ages, the term almost abusive, until Greece declared independence in the 19th century, the Romans - was the self-name of the Greeks, as early as the 20th century, many Greeks (Ionic, Asia Minor, Pontic) called themselves Roma (Rumei), Turkic-speaking Urumi, but not Hellenes . The Romans themselves did not call themselves Romans, this is a Greek term for a citizen of the Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire was almost originally Greek - the Goths almost immediately after the capture of Italy were called the Eastern Romans by the Greeks, the Byzantine author John Kameniat writes that Xerxes fought with the Romans, etc.

    Yes, they were mistaken. In everything. Romans - Romans (Rom - Rome). Byzantium is the second Rome, hence the desire for continuity in the name, which did not make the Greeks Romans. Who told you that the Greeks were called Greeks (sorry for the tautology)? What language? Who! Still, the Greeks are descendants of the Hellenes (in any case, they think so and want to).

      In this case, we are talking about self-name. Many people lived in Byzantium, the same Armenians. They all lived in Byzantium and, if I am not mistaken, considered themselves Romans. This is not true?
      If we start digging, it’s not clear to us who to call, try now to figure out which of the Drevlyans, which of the glades. laughing

      As for the "Greeks-Greeks", maybe I'm wrong, so it stuck in my memory. Flipped through a little, they write even Aristotle mentioned the Greeks. The Greeks are more likely a pre-Christian period, although some say themselves and now consider them.
      In this case, the Greeks were referring to as the heirs of the Byzantine Empire, we are talking about successors.

    Yes, they were mistaken. In everything. Romans - Romans (Rom - Rome). Byzantium is the second Rome, hence the desire for continuity in the name, which did not make the Greeks Romans.

    In this case, we are talking about self-name. Many people lived in Byzantium, the same Armenians. They all lived in Byzantium, and if I am not mistaken, they considered themselves Romans. This is not true?
    If we start digging, it’s not clear to us who we should be called, now try to figure out which of the Drevlyans, which of the glades. laughing
    As for the "Greeks-Greeks", maybe I'm wrong, so it stuck in my memory. Flipped through a little, they write even Aristotle mentioned the Greeks. The Greeks are more likely a pre-Christian period, although some say themselves and now consider them.
    In this case, the Greeks were referring to as the heirs of the Byzantine Empire, we are talking about successors.
    I hope you understand what I mean?

    Simplify. Romei - the population of Byzantium (self-designation). These are not Greeks, but the entire population (Greeks, Italians, Armenians, Jews). This is not a specific people; rather, it is citizenship. Hellenes (from the Greek. Έλληνες) - self-name of the ancient and modern Greeks. If the Greeks and with pride agree to call themselves descendants, then it is the Hellenes, instead of the generally used international today, that is the Greeks (from the 7th century).

    Greeks are not descendants of the Romans. Greeks are Romans. Ellin in the Middle Ages, the term almost abusive, until Greece declared independence in the 19th century, the Romans - was the self-name of the Greeks, as early as the 20th century, many Greeks (Ionian, Asia Minor, Pontic) called themselves Roma (Rumei), Turkic-speaking Urumi, but not Hellenes . The Romans themselves did not call themselves Romans, this is a Greek term for a citizen of the Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire was almost originally Greek - the Goths almost immediately after the capture of Italy were called the Eastern Romans by the Greeks, the Byzantine author John Kameniat writes that Xerxes fought with the Romans, etc.

    Eastern Roman Empire, self-designation Power of the Romans, Roman Empire. Romanes in Latin or Romans in Greek in Russian ROMANS. They called themselves Romans, as successors, considering themselves the SECOND ROME. And again - in Byzantium it is not a people, but citizenship.

    Hagia Sophia - stay here
    The Lord judged the nations and kings!
    After all, your dome, according to an eyewitness,
    Like on a chain, suspended from heaven.

    And for all centuries - Justinian’s example,
    When to abduct for alien gods
    Allowed Ephesian Diana
    One hundred and seven green marble pillars.

    But what did your builder think generous,
    When, in soul and in thought, is high,
    Arranged apse and exedry,
    Pointing them west and east?

    A beautiful temple bathing in peace
    And forty windows - triumph of light;
    On sails, under the dome, four
    The archangel is the most beautiful.

    And the wise spherical building
    Peoples and centuries will survive
    And the seraphim sobbing sob
    Do not warp the dark gilding.

    - And the entire Turkish public only rejoices and welcomes the "great news" ... - welcomes this "Erdogan's" decree ... - the decree on the "overthrow" of the Great Cathedral of Hagia Sophia ..; Christian Cathedral, which is more than a thousand years old ...
    - Yes .., personally, I will even say more .... - And I will say that our former "Bakhtiarov brothers" in socialism ... - such "news" will not outrage (or even even please) ...

      Now the Church of the Holy Mother of God is being reconstructed in Baku. Right in front of my house. In this regard, I had to go to the Temple and talk to the priest. Or as the foreman said - "with a Russian mall" :-)

Can you answer without browsing the Internet? The answer of the "Russian mall" did not satisfy me, but this is not my business, after all, what color will be the roof and dome of the Temple.

      PS Irina, this is a continuation of the theme of Russian oppression in Azerbaijan. The temple was to be demolished according to the plan of reconstruction of the city center.

    A famous joke. Repeatedly heard, including personally from Joseph Kobzon. By the way, Zorin and Kissinger are very similar in appearance. I also heard a version from the Jewish brothers, of course, that Zorin's real name is Stern (a star from Yiddish and German). What was my surprise when I read an interview with Valentin Zorin himself on this issue. His father is Russian, by the name of Zorin. And mother is a purebred Jewess. So, this very Zorin was written all his life by a Jew, including in his passport. And he explained why. For me, Zorin said, writing with a Jew was an incentive for achievement. This, he added, is like an acrobat without insurance. It was necessary to work more on oneself, to study better than others. And it helped a lot in life. That also happens.

    The translation of one of the first Christian churches, now a museum, into the legal status of a mosque is a challenge to the entire Christian world. This is shocking, and shocking demonstrative. But, as for me, non-wounding of Christianity is the main goal of what is happening. Erdogan’s rate is completely different - a total revision of all the principles of the greatest Turk in the history of this country Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (the father of the Turks is translated from Turkish, or any Turkic language). I personally have two politicians the greatest respect: Franklin Roosevelt and Ataturk. Ataturk's contribution to the establishment of Turkey is simply the greatest, almost the same as Moses in Jewish history. Having adopted the country after a crushing defeat in the First World War, mired on the tips of the ears in the most conservative Islam, with the institutions of dervishes, lawlessness, feudal relations in society, Ataturk dragged Turkey into Europe. He destroyed (really) all the mosques in Turkey, legally prohibited the wearing of Turkish national clothes in public places, Al Sophia reorganized the mosque into a museum (thereby saving the ancient murals that will now be destroyed according to the canons of Islam). Atatürk equalized the rights of men and women, carried out land reform, completely brought Turkish law into line with European. From his submission, Young Turk officers considered it an honor to drink a glass of cognac in one gulp and to bite a piece of pork ham. Publicly ridiculed the officers, who were afraid at the ball to invite Turkish women and touch them ... By Turkish standards, unheard of debauchery. He set a personal example: he was an alcoholic and died of cirrhosis. He was a wonderful person. And the army, according to his ideas, was the guarantor of democracy ... He was much hated by all radical Islam than Christians and Jews taken together. But the people and the army idolized him. The cult of personality of Ataturk before Erdogan came to power was sincere. Not immediately, but step by step, Erdogan began revisionism. For Israel, by the way, this is not bad. It is easier to deal with a backward and religious Islamist state and deal easier than with an enlightened one. Although the excellent relations between Turkey and Israel, which Ataturk built and today's Turkey with Israel, are incomparable. We will survive. But for the Turks and Turkey - what Erdoогan does is a crime and a rollback to the backward past. A fortel with a temple is one of the chords in the destruction of Atatürk’s cyclopean achievements.

      Well, maybe for you personally. I referred to the source: Panova, Bakhtin: "The Life of Muhammad".

        There are three versions. Khadija married at the age of five, at the age of six and at the age of 17. One source cannot be said for sure. And in two it is impossible. Not a single person in the world will say at what age she got married.
        Early marriages are practiced in the Islamic world. But, of course, not in 5 or 6 years. Usually at 12-13 years. But this is not the only religion. For example, in India they are struggling with CHILD marriages. Age is less than 10 years. The official minimum age is now 18 years old, but in practice much less.

    From the fact that Ataturk died in 1938 to the proclamation of the State of Israel, absolutely nothing has changed. The secular state he created pursued a pro-Israeli policy after his death and before Erdogan came to power. This is the first thing. Secondly. When he was the head of Turkey, Erdogan not only pursued an active policy against Islamism, but was noted inside Turkey and anti-Arab. Because it was the Arabs who impeded his fight against Islamism.

      Judge not by their words, but by their deeds. Turkey took neither direct nor indirect participation in the Arab-Israeli wars on the side of the Arabs, in discriminatory measures against Israel. After the Yom Kippur War, when all African countries and practically all Islamic countries severed diplomatic relations with Israel, Turkey did not. The Turks, having massacred 1.5 million Armenians and tens of thousands of Greeks during the Holocaust, did not touch a single Jew from the Jewish community in Turkey. It was during Ataturk's time. Here you write "not everything was so rosy". Be so kind as to specify what exactly "was not rosy". Do not forget that for all its actual secularity, Turkey remained a Muslim country.

    Everything would be fine, BUT ... you confused the word GENOCIDE and the HOLOCAUST. The Holocaust in the broad sense - the mass destruction of people in the framework of the Second World War, narrow, most used sense - this is the destruction (you can use the word genocide) of the Jews.

    If you decided to hit the language jungle, you should have continued to quote - in English (!)

But this is in the English language, and it seemed to me that we are conducting a discussion in Russian .... Once again, in Russian, the word Holocaust is used to mean the extermination of people within the WWII or the extermination of Jews. The combination of the Holocaust of Armenians is definitely not used.
    It just so happened that in Israel there are few people who are more informed about the Holocaust.

Their Taliban, then representing official Afghanistan, were blown up. But they belonged to the cultural heritage of all mankind. So is the case with Al Sofia. The walls of the temple are decorated with ancient frescoes. Now they will be destroyed. And only because the postulates of Islam forbid portraying people. That is, the opinion of all mankind, the feelings of believing Christians, are ignored, as is the will of Ataturk, who transferred the monument of world culture to the temple.

    On my proposal to concretize "that not everything is so rosy in Turkish-Israeli relations", you wrapped yourself in "a toga of silence"

    I didn’t turn around anywhere, it’s just hard to keep track of your logic. I noticed that Ataturk did not form relations with Israel for obvious reasons. You immediately indicated how the Turks loved Jews and Israel before Erdogan, I pointed out to you that the very fact of denying the right to create a state, and then keeping the relationship in secret speaks of a complicated relationship. Now I must also talk about the difficulties in relations between Turkey and Israel. What for?

    With logic, I am all right. And there is still a couple of years before personal schizophrenia. I expressed the point of view that the transfer of Al Sophia to the mosque is another demonstrative step towards revising the legacy of Ataturk and the Islamization of Turkey. And this is a legacy, including the foundation of good relations between Turkey and Israel. Everything! In your reply, you noticed that the death of Ataturk ten years before the creation of Israel does not allow me to put the question this way. I replied that during the time of Ataturk (not before Ataturk, no need to distort!), The Jews of Turkey happily escaped the Holocaust, I write in small letters)). And the foundation of a secular Turkish state laid by Ataturk is an explanation of why Turkey did not support the Arabs in any of the wars, did not break off diplomatic relations with Israel and had a visa-free regime, in the absence of at least one scandal. You have escaped the substantive answer. After all, one cannot consider the answer "not everything is so rosy". Also, as a rhetorical question: "why?" I understood this in such a way that you cannot argue your own premise. "Your lady is a bit" (A.S. Pushkin. "The Queen of Spades").

      About the visa-free regime with Turkey, I note - it is visa-free for us, the Turks must receive a visa. Does this not tell you anything? Once again, not everything is so simple in our relations with Turkey since the creation of the state.

    Turk, you take a lot on yourself, but oh well, live now ... and isn’t it in Constantinople itself that the Romanovs promised for participating in the 1st World Anglo-Saxons? They dragged a carrot in front of a donkey ... in general, they fought 18 times with the Turks, it’s possible the 19th, although whoever is better than them in this belt are not homosexual Westerners, that's for sure ...

    The walls of the temple are decorated with ancient frescoes. Now they will be destroyed. And only because the postulates of Islam forbid portraying people.

    I repeat once again. You have too many pathos and ... factual errors. It is not clear why the murals will be destroyed. The logic with the message - Muslims are forbidden to portray people - does not work! For at least FIVE centuries, Hagia Sophia was a mosque and the world did not turn upside down, and we could (and hopefully, continue to) see the frescoes.
    The parallel transformation (return!) Of Sofia into a mosque with the destruction of Buddha is too tight.

      Our talented compatriot is M.M. Zhvanetsky spoke out, as always, very aptly about the two debaters. I will not quote these winged words. I will confine myself to the observation that I am not going to arrange for you an educational program here. It’s not my fault that you don’t know that the Ottomans frescoes were covered with a calcareous layer that corroded them.
      Only due to the fact that Atatürk reorganized Sofia into a museum, the lime was removed and the frescoes survived. Now they will be closed again, since the images of living beings are contrary to Muslim tradition. Hence the famous mosaics, and ornament, and not sculptures and paintings, like the Christians.

    Excuse me, but I personally do not touch.

    As an atheist, I like the transfer of temples to museums more. :)

    There is some difference between HIDDEN and destroyed. Even in those days, they felt this difference ... Today are you afraid of destruction? A couple of years before your ... there are still - we’ll check.
