On Friday 24 July 2020, Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, led worshippers in the first Islamic prayers held inside Istanbul’s iconic Hagia Sophia (Bengali: আয়া সোফিয়া) in 86 years. In a move that drew widespread international attention, Erdoğan personally kicked off the historic service by reciting verses from the Qur’an inside the Hagia Sophia, which has been turned back into a mosque.
