New images of grief from Hagia Sophia are making the rounds of the internet as after the snapshots of the great damage to the imperial gate of the temple and the images with the scattered garbage and leftovers, some now seem to have turned even a historic Ottoman water tank into … shoe rack, after they broke its lid.
The new sad incident of vandalism was announced by the Turkish archaeologist, Omer Faruk Yavavcay, through a relevant photo posted on social media.
So far there has been no official statement on the matter.
This photo was taken at the Hagia Sophia at 10:43 pm on April 24, when the Ottoman army closed its door and snatched the people from their nostrils. @Talhaugurluel @CirkinIstanbul @mhrpolat #ayasofya pic.twitter.com/ifdQFiIcoM

On 22/4, however, the Turkish media projected the image of the Imperial Gate in Hagia Sophia, showing that the damage caused in part of the historic gate.
However, the uproar inside Turkey continues due to the lack of care for this unique monument and the dangers that lurk due to the doubling of the number of visitors inside the Hagia Sophia.
