Top greek diplomat views status change of Istanbul's Hagia Sophia as global issue

Athens, Jul 12 (Sputnik) Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said in an interview with the Skai TV channel that it would be dangerous to look at the issue of Hagia Sophia museum's conversion into a mosque from the perspective of the Greek-Turkish relationship alone, and called for addressing it as a global issue instead.
EU ministers of foreign affairs are expected to discuss on Monday the Turkish top administrative court's decision to annul a 1934 cabinet decree converting Hagia Sophia into a museum and giving it green light to be used as a mosque.
"There, [at the EU meeting] Greece will ask the European Union to draw up a list of the stringiest possible measures against Turkey in case it violates the sovereign rights of Greece," Dendias said in the interview.
