Should Turkey return the Hagia Sophia to Eastern Christians in a gesture of peace to heal old wounds?
“I would be prepared to return the Great Muslim Mosque of Cordoba in Spain to Islam in exchange for the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople”. I assume you are the King of Spain speaking in accordance with the advice of your Prime Minister and his cabinet. My personal advice to you is that the tourist potential could make it a financially attractive proposition, depending on whether you leave Haiga Sofia ‘in situ’ or transport it to Andalucia. However, I would wait a year or two while the Turks are fixing it up. They seemed to have a lot of scaffolding in the place when I was there last.
