People Visit The Hagia Sophia In Istanbul
A man wearing a t-shirth with the image of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, commonly known as Mehmed the Conqueror, stands in front of the Hagia Sophia on July 15, 2020 in Istanbul, Turkey. The Council of State, Turkey's highest administrative body, revoked the sixth-century Hagia Sophia's status as a museum, clearing the way for it to be turned back into a mosque. The president announced his decision on Friday following the court ruling, and the monument has been closed since then, but many people visited the site and took photos with Turkish flags on the anniversary of July 15 Turkish military coup attempt.
