Their concern for its world heritage sites Saint Sofia’s and her Monastery of Chora the Greeks express archaeologists with their relevant letter which they sent to UNESCO.
In particular, the Association of Greek Archaeologists (SEA) on Monday 22/8 sent an open letter to its general director Unesco Audrey Azoulay asking the international organization “to intervene forcefully to reverse the current situation which only poses risks for the world cultural heritage monuments of Hagia Sophia and the Monastery of Chora”
“Following his previous interventions on the matter, he will address the international scientific community for resolutions and signature texts to save the monuments» points out the Association of Greek Archaeologists.
“From 2020 and especially recently, photographic evidence has come to light with ominous prospects for the future of Hagia Sophia“, the SEA points out in his letter, as reported by the Athens News Agency, stressing among other things that “archaeological science has been left out of the monument”.
At the same time, since he emphasizes that “during the last years (2006 onwards) when the Directorate of Religious Affairs took over the management of monuments that were formerly held by the Archaeological Service of Turkey, many monuments have suffered irreparable damage“, he expresses his concern because “currently, work is also being carried out on another leading Byzantine monument in Constantinople, the former catholicon of the Monastery of Chora (Kariye Camii), so that it can also be reactivated as a mosque”.
