The spokesperson for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy of the EU denounced the decision of Turkey to convert the Chora Church in Constantinople into a mosque, when asked about the issue. More specifically, Nabila Massrali stated:
“We are recording the decision to convert the Chora Church, which functioned as a museum since 1945, into a mosque and to open it for worship. Like Hagia Sophia, Chora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a member of the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity, Turkey is committed to interfaith and intercultural dialogue and the promotion of tolerance and coexistence.”
