I say Islamic Turkey is not to be trusted. Turkey can show some good faith by returning St. Sophia to it's original builders but that will never happen.

Turkey should return Hagia Sophia when Spain returns the Alhambra.

Good deal, who should receive the Alhambra?

[quote]Turkey should return Hagia Sophia when Spain returns the Alhambra.[quote]

The original builders of Agia Sophia lived in the city which the church was build in thousands of years before the Turks arrived. Hispania Baetica, the region that Al-hambra was build in, was home to Christian Spaniards thousands of years before the Moors invaded the country in the 8th century AD and renamed it "Al-Andalus". Why should the Spaniards return something that was build on land that originally belonged to them anyway?
