Erdogan quoted the opinion of the leader of Russia.

The Turkish president also mentioned Putin’s positive reaction to his idea to visit this monument of history and culture together during the next visit of the head of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Turkey. The members of the Central Executive Committee of the AKP (whose leader is Erdogan himself) suggested that the head of state perform the first prayer in Hagia Sophia, to which he replied that the Directorate of Religious Affairs should solve such issues.

The main point of discussion among the party members was the Istanbul Convention - an international agreement of the Council of Europe aimed at preventing violent acts in the family, as well as violence against women.

    If supported, then it looks very strange, it seems that the person is completely confused in his partners.

      "Partner" is just a term in diplomacy ... this does not mean that Putin and Erdogan will baptize their grandchildren.

          I didn’t set such a goal ... they write here - turning the museum into a mosque hit Bartholomew, who split Orthodoxy with his Tomos .. they say that he had a pulpit there.

    Isn't that so, and Erdogan needs permission from Putin?
    The rest is interpretation.

    It will soon be easier to write at this rate - Putin looked at me and in his eyes I saw the forgiveness of my sins.
    Putin started in the KGB, plus many years of experience as a prese, he can and should sometimes say what is generally accepted, what is convenient for the interlocutor, and what does not bind him in actions.
    This is how the Russian authorities will react in detail (economically and politically) - immediately or gradually, and his attitude to Erdogan’s act will be.

    Putin supported his Turkish counterpart.

    It is easy to be generous at the expense of others. Boris Nikolaich was also a great sower, scattered half the country.
    On the other hand, Russia has built enough temples, churches and churches, so it's time to resettle the Orthodox Church in the suburbs. I think Erdogan will also approve of this, support it and, as a sign of consent, may bomb something else, for example, in Syria.
