Russian tourist converts to Islam at Hagia Sophia. During a visit to the historic mosque Hagia Sophia in Istanbul’s Tukiye district, a Russian visitor converted to Islam.
A Turkish media site released the video on social media, showing the traveler repeating the “kalmia” to convert to Islam.
During the Ottoman administration, the Hagia Sophia was both a Christian Cathedral and a mosque. It was transformed into a mosque in 2020 and remains a tourist destination for people of all faiths.
