by

In a written question to the European Commission, the MEPs of ND and EPP, Eliza Vozemberg – Vryonidis and Anna Michel Asimakopoulou, denounce the desecration of Hagia Sophia again, on the occasion of the new episode of destruction of the historic imperial gate of Constantinople.

Greek MEPs, in their question, denounce the desecration of the sanctuary of Hagia Sophia, which in fact takes place at a time when Orthodox Christians everywhere are going through Holy Week and preparing to celebrate Easter, as they report.

They describe the image of the faithful and visitors as “offensive and sad”, “especially after the character of Hagia Sophia was altered by its illegal conversion into a mosque, emphasizing that it is a global symbol of Orthodoxy with strong historical value.”

Finally, following previous relevant questions, the Greek MEPs ask the European Commission what actions and measures it has already taken to protect the Hagia Sophia, as a World Heritage Site and how it intends to react to its ongoing offensive acts of desecration. of this sacred space, in view of the 45th Session of UNESCO in June 2022.
