Turkish fears of Greek seizure of Saint Sophia in Constantinople
In Constantinople on September 13, visitors to Saint Sophia face passport checks and religious identity scrutiny. Rumors say Greek troops may seize the church despite peace talks, while Turks bolster Brant Mosque guards. The city remains tense as Kemal’s forces control Turkish army remnants and Greeks face punitive possibilities. Russians mingle with worshippers, but Turks view Greeks as the primary threat, favoring Russian control only to avoid Greek domination.
