Important turning point in Turkish elections, ‘new trick’ against Tayyip Erdogan
On Sunday, May 14, they will cast their votes along with 61 million other people across the country to elect Turkey’s 13th president and 600 members of parliament.
In 2020, a Turkish court ruled that Istanbul’s historic Hagia Sophia should be turned into a mosque, ending its museum status.
This historic building was converted into a museum in 1934 by Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish secular state, a decade after his reign.
Following the court ruling, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a presidential decree converting Hagia Sophia from a museum to a mosque, after which Hagia Sophia’s status as a museum ceased and control was taken over by Turkey’s Department of Religious Affairs. .
