Turkish court announced that it had revoked Hagia Sophia’s status as a museum, which for the last 80 years had made it a monument of relative harmony and a symbol of the secularism that was part of the foundation of the modern Turkish state.

Any reasoning behind this? Seems dumb if it’s been a museum for this long.

It was a mosque for much longer...and a Cathedral for much longer than that.
