Is there any relation between the Coronation Circle in St. Sophia and the possible position of the stars?
A. No. I don’t think so, actually, similar mosaic decoration can also be seen in Nicea (Iznik). The big circle at the centre symbolises Jesus Christ. The four circles at four corners belong to the four Gospel writers. And the other circles with smaller satellites around them stand for the apostles and their disciples. Q. Is it true that Turks allied with Armenians against the Byzantine Empire? A. Yes, it is surprisingly true. In the 10th century, Orthodox Byzantine Empire did not have good relations with Gregorian Armenia. On the other hand, Byzantines did not want Turks to control the Silk and Spice Roads. So, Turks allied with Armenians and defeated the Byzantine Army. As Turks conquered more land, they promoted Armenian artists and tradesmen. So, their partnership developed into a close friendship. Nevertheless, Russian Expansion, British Policy on the Caspian Waters and French Missionaries of Catholic Faith in the 19th century lead to one of the biggest tragedies of the history. Re
