Greek govt spokesman: Hagia Sophia is a world heritage site, it is positive that many countries reacted

During the briefing of the journalists, the Government Spokesman, Stelios Petsas, reiterated that the issue of Hagia Sophia was not an affair between Greece and Turkey but a global affair. As he stressed, Hagia Sophia is a world heritage site while noting that many countries reacted, culminating in the US State Departement’s statement. Stelios Petsas said that such a decision would drive a wedge between the Christians and Turkey. “We believe that the Turkish leadership take seriously into consideration all these facts and we wait for its actions.”
