Hagia Sophia is a symbol of Istanbul
Hagia Sophia is one of Istanbul's best-known landmarks. Built in the sixth century as a cathedral, it served as a mosque for centuries, then as a museum, and reopened for Muslim worship in 2020.

Ambassador Arı has held a number of meetings and made visits in Georgia in recent days, including visits to the ports of Batumi, Poti and Anaklia.
