Since it was converted into a museum on November 24, 1935, it has brought to mind the question of who opened the Hagia Sophia for those whom made a disgrace act in Hagia Sophia.
A DISGRACE WITH THE MINISTRY PERMIT!
Within the scope of various organizations since 2017, special trips from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism are organized for midnight trips to Hagia Sophia for 275 Turkish Liras. Leyla Alaton, with a special permission from the ministry organized a tour to Hagia Sophia at midnight. Alaton, accompanied by 150 people in the mosque served for centuries as a mosque dance figures in the social media account of the dance figures shared Hagia Sophia. While the opening of Hagia Sophia as a mosque was prevented, different kinds of rituals with special permission received from the ministry caused reactions.
