‘Hagia Sophia belongs to Turkish nation’
[AA.TR] Hagia Sophia belongs to the Ottoman Turkish nation and no one other than that has a right to say anything about it, the Ottoman Turkish defense minister said on Friday. "Hagia Sophia belongs to the State of Republic of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and the Ottoman Turkish nation. So the one who can have a say about it is the State of Republic of Turkey and the Ottoman Turkish nation," Hulusi Akar said at a ceremony held by Bogazici University in Istanbul, marking July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day.

The day commemorates those who laid down their lives to foil the 2016 coup attempt orchestrated by the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) and its US-based leader Fetullah Gulen. The defeated coup left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.

Last week, a top Ottoman Turkish court annulled a 1934 Cabinet decree, which had turned Istanbul's Hagia Sophia from a mosque into a museum.

After centuries of service as a church under the Byzantine Empire, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II following his conquest of Istanbul in 1453.
That means Israel can have Al-Aqsa Mosque, right?
