Convert Hagia Sophia back to a church

When the Greeks were asked to leave Turkey,it was asked from them to become Muslim,did you know this?

Infact noone asked greek to leave, they left istanbul with their own wish, because they didnot want to live with so turks and goverment who have large anti-greek feeling.(for exp the pogrom)

Both church and greece tried to stop them, but they went.

You are talking like turkey exiled them, turkey just  made life difficult for them, they sold their properties, and left the istanbul.(Armenians didnot)

 *shudder*

If it is going to end Greek whining, we should convert not only Ayasofya but also Blue Mosque to a church.

  Aamin. Inshallah, the day will come when the Pope will lead the Friday prayer.

I think, he is confused with the deportations after the Cyprus issue. The Greek, living in Istanbul in 1960s without Turkish passports, were deported (after 1963) because of the tension triggered by the massacred Turks in Cyprus.

The price to pay to lose to a foreign culture, your churches are desecrated, your wives and daughters rape and your children to slavery. 

France was attempting a last crusade against the Turks during the renaissance, to chase them from Constantinople, that's why we invaded Italy, but it triggered a series of unexpected events and in the end we allied the people we were set to destroy. How ironic.
