In addition to the issue of the Monastery of Chora, other issues will be discussed. According to the Turkish media, Erdogan will ask Mitsotakis about the distribution of the wealth of the Eastern Mediterranean, while the Cyprus issue will also be on the agenda of the discussion.

THLEOPTIC NETWORK HABER GLOBAL: “In Athens the preparations have been completed and we are waiting for the Prime Minister of Greece in Ankara. Developments in the Eastern Mediterranean are expected to be one of the main issues of the discussions.

Turkey is prospecting for gas in the Black Sea and continuing seismic surveys in the Southern Mediterranean. Turkey has given messages that the natural wealth of the Southern Mediterranean should be shared between the neighboring states and we expect President Erdogan to express a similar message to Mitsotakis. Like the ‘TRDBC’, the Cyprus issue will be one of the important topics on the agenda.

Turkey has repeatedly expressed that it insists on the two-state solution and the meeting between the two leaders will discuss the steps that can be taken for permanent peace and stability on the island.”

Enthusiasm in Turkey over the conversion of the Monastery of Chora into a mosque

“May our leader be well. After we had taken this place with the sword, we have now made it a mosque again.”

“You know that the Cariye Mosque was turned into a museum. God bless those who made it a mosque again, just as our ancestors with the power of the sword had turned this place from a church into a mosque. I have a shop here. We are happy that it became a mosque again. It is a pride, a joy, an honor that the imam’s prayer is heard again, and I hope that it will continue.

God bless them. I praise Allah. After 79 years the Carriage mosque has returned to its original form. God bless those who decided this as after 79 years we are living this wonderful moment.

Until recently I had visited this place as a museum. Now I came to a mosque. God bless the whole world to come and pray at a historic monument in a wonderful mosque.

We are very happy. God bless our leader May we never miss him. We have seen these days God giving strength and courage to our leader.

We thank him as he gives us again our own property as a mosque. May they always be well.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry: “Erdogan has withdrawn the embargo. We must not bow to the dictator”

Ankara denies Israel’s claims.

Israel Katz, Israel’s Foreign Minister: “Erdogan withdrew and canceled most of the trade restrictions. The lesson is clear: We must not succumb to the dictator’s threats, we must create alternatives and not depend on the men of the Muslim Brotherhood who can stop everything at any time.”

Turkish Trade Minister: “We stand by the decision we made as a government regarding trade with Israel. This decision remains in force. Our decision to freeze trade with Israel is in effect until our conditions are met to end Israel’s attacks on Gaza, ensure a permanent ceasefire and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to our Palestinian brothers in Gaza.”
