The Syrian National Defense Forces, a pro-government, Christian supported militia, received the consent of the Greek-Orthodox Metropolitan Nicholas Baalbaka of Hama, to build a smaller copy of the Hagia Sophia in the Christian town Al-Suqaylabiyah, writes Insmi.ru (July 30)
This is considered a response to Turkey which recently turned Constantinople's Hagia Sophia into a mosque.
The commander of the Russian military base in Khmeimim – 40 km West of Al-Suqaylabiyah - supports the idea, also the Russian State Duma represented by Vitaly Milonov.
Turkey, a NATO country, is one of the main aggressors against Syria and a leading sponsor of Jihadists terrorism. The church will be just a few kilometres away from an illegal Turkish army bases.
