What would it take to turn the Hagia Sofia into a sovereign territory similar to Vatican City, but run by the Patriarch of Constantinople?

>Patriarch of Constantinople
And what exactly would his job be?

administering the Bulgaristan millet once Erdo conquers you

I don't think turks will ever let Hagia Sofia became a christian territory, conquering istanbul is literally an islamic prophecy by muhammad, it has a huge symbolic meaning

What if filthy l*tins didn't ruin Eastern Roman Empire?

>And what exactly would his job be?
...
Uh...
...running the Hagia Sofia?

Also, to be clear, the building would revert back to its original function as a church.

Honestly it's true, they were destroying themselves internally long before turks showed up

But it wouldn't be all of Istanbul; just the Hagia Sofia and that open public space on its south side. It's only about one square kilometer, maybe less.

considering the events in the last days and the last years and the progressive radicalisation of Erdogan and political islam in turkey, I think that they're very very far away from wanting to have good relations with the christian world

>they were destroying themselves internally long before turks showed up

It's fascinating how wildly Byzantine territory fluctuated back and forth for the thousand-year period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

First thing first, the patriarch would need to actually want that, and the citizens, and the Turkish government.

One of the most religiously conservative turkish governments to give one of the most important mosques in islam over to greeks and slavic christians, in a move that would also alienate turkish liberals, to whom the secularisation of that same mosque is one of their greatest victories.

>mosque
It's a church that is now a museum.

Do that and we'll burn that shit down in a matter of minutes
Some greeks opened up a byzantine flag and shouted " istanbul is constantinople" or some shit years ago after a football match, they got stabbed in the leg and police managed to save them.

>conquering istanbul is literally an islamic prophecy by muhammad
Wasn't that Rome he was talking about?

>a Bulgarian getting offended when someone said they want to take the land back from Turkey
Lmfao

Isn't Ankara the capital? Istanbul is the Turkish New York City.

Arent Orthodox people against the idea of a single patriarch above all others with great power?

>Isn't Ankara the capital?
No that's Berlin

Yes, Rome/Rûm aka Constantinople

Every arab that refer to Rome or Roman in that period mean Byzantinian and Constantinople

I don't think anyone knew about that small city of 30,000 people in Italy called Rome, when the other Rome 5Constantinople) had like 500,000 people at the same period

You know the emperor was pretty much their boss, right?

PS Besides how is he a single anything? Never heard of the Pentarchy? Kuku Riko is Christian or what?

No, the isis crew was talking about conquering Rome - Rome

Well the most serious hadiths are really about Constantinople, never seen any serious claim about Muhammad and the conquest of Rome (Italy).

I mean Byzantinians and Persians asked for it, they used arabs for their wars for centuries, like the Ghassanids and Lakhmid.
