Aya Sophia

When Erdogan threatened the history and existence of Christianity in the region through his support of terrorists and extremists in Syria and his erosion of Christian heritage in Turkey - the commander of the Sqeilbiyyeh National Defence Forces, Nabel Alabdalla, decided to take action against Erdogan's neo-ottoman ambitions. When Erdogan converted the historic Aya Sophia temple into a mosque, Nabel began his project to rebuild a downsized replica of Aya Sophia in Sqeilbiyyeh.

"If you plant one seed, you will generate more seeds in the future. This is a message to the terrorists that we will stay on this land" ~ Nabel Alabdalla, commander of the Al Sqeilbiyyeh National Defence Forces. 5th September 2020.
