Congratulations on your work! You keep unraveling treasures well buried under the facts.
During my last visit to Hagia Sophia, a couple of days ago, with sorrow I realized the transformation of the church to a mosque may be but surely to a form far different from what it was meant to be.
Mostly I was embarrassed by the darkness of the building at night, while all the surrounding was showing bright.
I estimate all of the researchers and the history lovers have to protest to the Turkish Ministry of Culture and the Istanbul state.
