Ua kauoha aku ʻo Pelekikena Pelekikena Recep Tayyip Erdogan e hoʻohuli i ka hale pule ʻo Byzantine Chora i Istanbul i mālama ʻia e ka Religious Affairs Directorate. ʻAʻole e hoʻohana hou ʻia ka hale pule ma ke ʻano he hale hōʻikeʻike a e wehe ana i kona mau puka i ka poʻe hoʻomana Muslim.

Ua like kekahi ʻano r = econversion i hoʻokahi mahina aku nei, i ka manawa ʻO Hagia Sophia, kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke ʻano he hale pule Orthodox o ka pule, ua hoʻohuli ʻia mai kahi hale hōʻikeʻike i loko o kahi mosque, e hoʻomaka ana i ka backlash mai Helene.

E hoʻohana ʻia ka hale pule mōʻaukala ma ke ʻano he mosque me ka lawelawe ʻana ma ke ʻano he hale hōʻikeʻike no ʻehiku mau makahiki.

ʻO ka hale pule o ka Mea Hoola Hemolele ma Chora e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i kona mōʻaukala i kahi hale monastery ʻehā kenekulia ma waho pono o ka paia o Constantinople, i hoʻohui ʻia i loko o ke kūlanakauhale i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana. Ua ola nā paia o ka hale i kēia manawa mai ka hana hou ʻana i ka kenekulia 11. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona i loko o nā mosaic Byzantine nani a me nā frescoes, i hana ʻia i kekahi manawa ma waena o 1315 a me 1321 a hōʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona mai ke Kauoha Hou.

Ma hope o ka naʻi ʻia ʻana o Constantinople e nā Ottomans i ka waena o 15th kenekulia, ua hoʻololi ʻia ka hale pule i mosque a ua uhi ʻia kāna kiʻi Karistiano ma hope o ka plaster. Ua hoʻololi ʻia ʻo Turkey i kēia manawa i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Kariye, kahi wahi huakaʻi kaulana, ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II.

ʻO ka hoʻoholo e hoʻihoʻi i ka hale hōʻikeʻike i kāna kūlana Ottoman-era i hoʻoholo ʻia e ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo kiʻekiʻe o Turkey i Nowemapa. ʻAʻole maopopo koke pehea ka lōʻihi o ka manawa ma mua o ka hoʻomaka hou ʻana o nā lawelawe Muslim ma kēia pūnaewele, ma hope o ka paʻi ʻia ʻana o kā Erdogan palapala i ka gazette kūhelu o Turkey i ka Pōʻalima, a laila lilo i ikaika.

I ka mahina i hala, ua loaʻa ʻo Hagia Sophia i kahi recombversion like kontroversial mai kahi hale hōʻikeʻike i hoʻi i kahi mosque. ʻO Erdogan, ka ʻaoʻao nona ka ʻaha politika politika no ke kākoʻo kūloko a me ka honua, i hele i ka pule Pōʻalima mua i mālama ʻia ma ka hale pule ʻo Byzantine mua me nā kaukani haipule ʻē aʻe.

Ua kuʻi ka hoʻololi i nā haunaele ma waena o Turkey a me kona hoa hakakā lōʻihi a me kona hoanoho, Helene, ka mea i ʻike iā lākou he hoʻouka kaua i ka hoʻoilina Karistiano i mālama ʻia ma ka mālama ʻana o Tureke. Ua kāhea ke kuhina haole Helene i ka hoʻoholo hou loa "kahi hoʻonāukiuki hou aʻe e kūʻē i nā poʻe haipule ma nā wahi āpau" na Ankara. Mālama mālama Tureke. Ua kāhea ke kuhina haole Helene i ka hoʻoholo hou loa "kahi hoʻonāukiuki hou aʻe e kūʻē i nā poʻe haipule ma nā wahi āpau" na Ankara.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

The Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora traces its history back to a fourth century monastery complex just outside of the wall of Constantinople, which was incorporated into the city as it expanded.
The conversions have struck tensions between Turkey and its long-time rival and neighbor, Greece, which sees them as an attack on a Christian legacy held in Turkish custody.
A similar r=econversion happened a month ago, when Hagia Sophia, which also had originated as an Orthodox house of prayer, was turned from a museum into a mosque, triggering backlash from Greece.
