  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “In a broader sense, we are working to contribute to the development and prosperity of Russia and China by enhancing equal, mutually beneficial economic and humanitarian cooperation, and strengthen foreign policy coordination in the interests of building a just multipolar world order. All this is the key to a future success of our comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for the new era. The partnership between Russia and China is always based on equality and mutual trust, mutual respect for sovereignty, and consideration of each other's interests. President Xi Jinping, a wise and visionary leader, plays a special and prominent role in the development of bilateral relations. We first met back in March 2010, and we have been seeing and calling each other regularly ever since. President Xi maintains a respectful, friendly, open and at the same time business-like style of communication.” 57 minutes ago
  • Yair Lapid
    Yair Lapid “The government has lost control. Soldiers are being killed every day in Gaza and they fight among themselves on television. The cabinet is disassembled and non-functional. Ministers protest in front of cabinet meetings. One cabinet sends humanitarian aid convoys and the other burns them. Relations with the US are collapsing, the middle class is collapsing, they have lost the north. We can't go on like this. We will not win with this government.” 2 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We have said many times that whoever is quicker to master the newest means of armed combat wins. We have to be one step ahead. We have everything we need for this, and much has been done, but we need to double and triple our efforts in this area.” 6 hours ago
  • Alena Kudzko
    Alena Kudzko “That is definitely not something that anybody in Slovakia expected. The country has been polarised over the past year amid heightened political tension, especially in the run-up to the elections. But nobody … called for violence in the country. Quite the opposite, everybody right now is trying to unite and send a coherent message, that political violence is not something that we support.” 7 hours ago

“The AKP's grassroots are shrinking in size and Erdogan is becoming more vulnerable to demands from its own core voters. Religious orders and religious communities are increasingly more effective in shaping the AKP’s agenda because the AKP addresses now a smaller voting base. The move [of reverting the Hagia Sophia into a mosque]itself is a confirmation that the government is desperate.”

“We see that the targets of those countries who have made so much noise in recent days are not Hagia Sophia or the eastern Mediterranean. [Their targets] are the presence itself of the Turkish nation and Muslims in this region.”

“[Our] Turkish associates explained that everything will be maintained in the best possible way, and that everyone will be able to visit Hagia Sophia. In addition, I must say, there were quite expensive tickets for Hagia Sophia. And now there will be no tickets, admission will be free. In this respect, this will benefit our tourists.”

“Greece strongly condemns Turkey’s decision to convert Hagia Sophia into a mosque. This decision – and in fact 85 years since its designation as a museum – offends its universal character. This constitutes a choice that also offends all those who acknowledge the monument as universal cultural heritage. And, of course, it impact not only Turkey’s relations with Greece, but also its relations with the European Union, Unesco and the global community as a whole. It is unfortunate that the Turkish leadership, which participated in the Alliance of Civilizations in 2005, is now choosing to move in the opposite direction.”

“The ruling by the Turkish Council of State to overturn one of modern Turkey's landmark decisions and President Erdogan's decision to place the monument under the management of the Religious Affairs Presidency is regrettable.”

“All our big mosques, such as the Blue Mosque, the Fatih and Suleymaniye mosques, are all open to visitors and prayers. Thus, the opening of the Hagia Sophia to prayer will not affect visitors or tourists. The two of them will not get in each other’s way. The non-Muslim community has been part of Turkey for centuries and minorities in Turkey face no pressure.”

“Reversing Atatürk's transformation of the site into a museum is a symbolic challenge to the secular ethos of republican cultural heritage policies, which signified a commitment to building cordial relations with the Western world”
