Istanbul's Chora Museum to reopen as mosque

Weeks after the historic return of Hagia Sophia to a mosque, another ancient house of worship in Istanbul is set to reopen for Muslim worship.

Axar.az reports citing Turkish media.

The sixth-century Chora Museum, located in Istanbul's Fatih district on the historical peninsula, will reopen as a mosque for Muslim prayers, authorities said Friday.

A presidential decree published in the country's Official Gazette today annulled a 1945 Cabinet decision making Chora (Kariye in Turkish) into a museum.
