Turkey maintains its rhetoric of tension. A few hours after inflammatory statements of Recep Tayyip Erdogan The Turkish Ministry of Defense is launching aggressive posts on Twitter in response to Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
“An open day for our national memory. “Today, the transformation of Hagia Sophia, a World Heritage Site, into a mosque, like the vandalism of the Imperial Gate, saddens any person who respects history,” the foreign minister wrote.

In a post barrage, the Turkish Ministry of Defense states:
“It is a delusion to look at Constantinople, which was conquered 569 years ago, dreaming of the Roman Empire or Byzantium. Those who yearn (for the time) 1000 years ago, let them clarify who has expansionist aspirations and who is an obstacle to peace.
Hagia Sophia, which has been used as a mosque for centuries, has been under the protection of the Turkish nation since 1453.
It is too serious to explain, even as hypocrisy, the fact that those who supposedly mourned Hagia Sophia did not oppose the demolition of mosques in Greece, each of which is a cultural heritage of the 1500s, and the construction of cinemas, exhibition halls, lodgings and warehouses in place.
The Greek administration, which does not even give burial ground to Muslims when they die, tries to deceive its own people with gross illusions and to cover up its dead-end realities. The sun is not covered with mud.
We honor the memory of Sultan Mohammed the Prophet and his heroic army, who conquered Constantinople 569 years ago, with mercy, gratitude and thanks. “
