Am and when i say states you something wrong i Say Something speaking up against misconduct rita police will swallow his call for more protection against retaliation. That is not just our investigation delves into facebooks had big of racist hate speech online. Turkeys Top Administrative Court has ruled that the 930. 00 s. Conversion of the highest sophia in istanbul from a mosque to a museum was unlawful and that decision paves the way for the World Heritage thought World Heritage sites restoration as a mosque you know esko had cautioned turkey against provoking the higher sophia status as a museum the u. S. And greece had also expressed concerns about any change to the site status sort of call solo is live for us live for us from istanbul so soon im just explain for our viewers why this is been so controversial. Well this has always been a very popular topic in turkish politics cambaia i have to remind that in 1934 after turkish republic was a style this by a cabinet decision the status of sophia has been altered from from most museums and when. The ultimate. Ultimate. Ultimate sultan who come kurdistan both from the buys and time back in 1453. He establishments and the moment and places like iowa sophia have been part of that involvement there restoration their expenses were all paid to that and goldman so. Now the State College still repealing the 934 cabinet decision means that this building behind me i also feel cannot be used for any other purpose than. As stated by the concord. Madmans through which he established an endorsement so this is an important step for turks because they have been waiting for this for the status of for sophia to be all back to to be able to pray here so as soon as the top out in the street to court and now as this there were dozens of people who were already waiting here since the Morning Hours since 11 am local time they went in front of the museum and they said god is great in arabic and they are saying that this is a very emotional moment for that because they have been waiting for years and this is what are your sophia deserves to be a mosque to serve for the muslim people all around the world but one thing as you said as critical as the sophia being a World Heritage by mesko. Potential architectural changes or restorations in the building is courts go by. Last week when we were working on a story about about this and this Court Decision we spoke to the picture president s Deputy Director of turkey is religious affairs which is the top religious body under the presidency and we were told by them that there will be no architectural changes the structure will be preserved as a tos there will be no changes and many people say that because there are. Inside with whom one figures and in islam you cannot pray in a place where you have put them on figures and they said that they were afraid those mosaics would because by sam and or any other things by the top religious by the maid made sure that there will be no changes no harm in the architecture and its will be preserved as it is but the only thing that is going to change that it is status not a museum but a most which is open to all ways it says and all worshippers without a fee without paying any paying for any ticket like blue mosque and or any other places or like president ial spokesperson a rhyme cullen said a couple of days ago like the not heard them cathedral in paris. We will of course be monitoring for any response from greece given it was a buzzing Team Cathedral for more than a 1000 years and unescos response as well for now thanks so much for that cynical seal the result of a u.
