Archbiship Ieronymos
of Athens and All Greece condemned the decision of Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan to convert the World Heritage monument of Hagia
Sophia into a mosque as an affront to all civilized peoples.
In statements to Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA), Archbishop
Ieronymos said, "Turning religion into a tool for party, geopolitical,
and geostrategic purposes reflects on the person attempting it. The
affront and hubris are not related to Orthodoxy and Christianity alone,
but to the entire civilized world, to every thinking person regardless
of religion."
