ERTUGRUL - HAGIA SOFIA - HISTORICAL FACTS

2023, the year when the treaty of Lausanne is going to expire after 100 years. The treaty signed on July 24, 1923, is a document whose conditions humiliate the state of Turkey after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire.  Under the treaty, Turkey was restrained from any drilling and could not charge for ships crossing the strait of Bosphorus.

As 2023 get closer anxiety is increasing in the region and among those who considered themselves triumphant at the time. Turkey has started asserting itself in the region and tensions between Greece and France are rising in the Mediterranean and black sea. This July 24, PM of Turkey asserting nations sovereignty turn Hagia Sofia from Museum to Mosque again. I thought a little history be added in the attached article to increase awareness among Muslim youth.
