Hagia Sophia: "Neither laser nor light will cover the hagiographies"

Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy has denied that the Hagia Sophia mosaics will be covered with lasers or lights. "Our ministry has never considered a study of their coverage with lasers or lights. Nor will he consider. We are taking into account the views of the commission and the President of UNESCO in Turkey, άλzal Oάλuz. We do not ignore UNESCO in this process. "We take into account all the experts," Ersoy said.

Asked if the mosaics would be covered with curtains, he said: "Wait for the 24th. But what is certain is that there will be no laser, no light, that is clear. " The Turkish minister also noted that work has accelerated inside and outside the monument to convert it into a mosque, while a larger budget will be sought later for more changes.
