Turkish media: Damage to Hagia Sophia imperial gate repaired

The Turkish media today project the image of the imperial gate where the destruction that had been caused to a part of the historic gate has been restored. However, the uproar inside Turkey continues due to the lack of care for this unique monument and the dangers that lurk due to the doubling of the number of visitors inside the Hagia Sophia.

According to ERT, there are many posts stating that the official explanation of the Directorate of Public Benefit Institutions of Turkey that the damage is due to normal wear and tear is not convincing.

Many believe that the damage was intentional and that it was done by a carpentry tool.

There are also many posts that question the ability of the Turkish authorities to do the right job of restoring historical monuments, citing many examples of scandalous workmanship using modern materials such as plastic and aluminum.
