Fox News
Turkey has converted the ancient Chora church in Istanbul, previously a museum for over 70 years, into a mosque, marking the second major conversion in recent months.
That move was criticized by church leaders and some Western countries, who said reconverting Hagia Sophia risked deepening religious rifts. Erdogan said this was interference in sovereign rights and that he was determined to protect Muslims' rights.
