Two Greek tourists were arrested in Istanbul on Holy Thursday for unfurling a Greek flag with a Byzantine eagle inside Hagia Sophia.
The flag displayed the message "Orthodoxy or Death" and the individuals reportedly shouted slogans within the sacred site.
Security personnel detected the incident via cameras and intervened after the tourists entered as part of an organized group.
The two individuals, one with a Greek passport and another with Greek and Australian passports, were formally arrested on charges of offending a section of the public.

They sound like trouble makers. Good job that the Turkish police arrested them. A city like Istanbul does not want any disorder.
Good for them, I guess.
But it’s kinda like raising the old Prussian flag over the city of Königsberg. Because Königsberg isn’t Königsberg anymore. It’s now the Russian city of Kaliningrad.
And the Russians aren’t too fond of the old Prussian flag. So mayhem would necessarily ensue.
Free Anatolia from the invading settler colonial Turks for its indigenous Greeks!
MIGA - Make Istanbul Greek Again.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

Might as well free Cypress while we’re at it
This makes me want to raise the Gasden flag in Ithaca.
Ho-Lee Krappe! Is there an Archduke somewhere?
I wept when I toured the Hagia Sophia in 2007. What the Muslims have done to it is a crime.
They might be giants, these men.
Amen!
Muslim ruled cities need some disorder. Time to stir up trouble in Islamic strongholds such as Constantinople, London, and New York City.

Exactly.
“arrested on charges of offending a section of the public.”
Can one do anything without offending someone?
