Turkey delays decision on turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque

A Turkish court has postponed a verdict on whether the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul can be turned into a mosque.
The Council of State Turkey’s highest administrative body announced it would deliver a verdict within 15 days, after a hearing lasting only 17 minutes.
The 1,500-year-old Unesco World Heritage site was formerly a cathedral before converting a mosque and then a museum in the 1930s.
It may shift a mosque again if the court allows the move.
