ATHENS — Archbiship Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece condemned the decision of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to convert the World Heritage monument of Hagia Sophia into a mosque as an affront to all civilized peoples.
In statements to Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA), Archbishop Ieronymos said, "Turning religion into a tool for party, geopolitical, and geostrategic purposes reflects on the person attempting it.
