The World Heritage Committee of the UN’s cultural agency, UNESCO, has asked Turkey to submit a report by early next year about the state of conservation of Hagia Sophia, expressing “grave concern” over the consequences of its conversion into a mosque.
Turkey’s move last year to convert the revered Byzantine-era Hagia Sophia cathedral from a museum into a mosque sparked fury from the international community and added to tensions with Greece.
A month later, Ankara ordered another ancient Orthodox church, the Holy Saviour in Chora, to also be converted into a mosque.
Hagia Sophia was converted to a mosque last year.
UNESCO said in a statement that it expects Turkey to submit a report on both churches by February 1, 2020, and added it “deeply regrets the lack of dialogue and information” over the Turkish government’s intention to change the status of Hagia Sophia and Chora.
The committee expressed “grave concern about the potential impact of changes at these key components… on the Outstanding Universal Value of the property” and urged Turkey to engage in international cooperation and dialogue before any further major changes are implemented at the property.
But in response on Saturday, Turkey rejected the UN cultural agency’s criticism as “biased and political.”
UNESCO has asked Turkey for a report on Hagia Sophia.
The Turkish foreign ministry said it “rejects the relevant articles of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee’s decisions on Istanbul’s historical sites understood to be driven by prejudiced, biased and political motives.”
The Turkish government is “fully aware of its rights, prerogatives and responsibilities towards its properties on the UNESCO World Heritage List,” the ministry’s statement added.
Erdogan marks first anniversary of Hagia Sophia reopening as mosque:
This condemnation by UNESCO comes one year after Hagia Sophia was reopened as a mosque, an anniversary which was commemorated by Erdogan over the weekend.
The Turkish President called the iconic 16th century structure a “symbol of the revival of Turkish civilization” on Twitter and also shared a video of the first Friday prayer at Hagia Sophia last year.
In his post, Erdogan also said he hoped for the call for Muslims prayers and Quran to never abandon the converted structure “until the end of time.”

İnşallah bu ulu mabedin kubbelerinden ezanların, salavatların, hatmi şeriflerin sesleri kıyamete kadar eksik olmayacak… pic.twitter.com/7wUivL4Rft
In response, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of America Elpidophoros issued a statement on Saturday on Twitter.
”Hagia Sophia is the embodiment of our Orthodox Christian Faith,” Elpidophoros said in a tweet.
”We mourn its conversion to a mosque. Every culture is worthy of respect and Hagia Sophia, the epitome of the Byzantine achievement, should have been left as a place of cultural intersection and religious harmony.”
Third seed, Stefanos Tsitsipas, got his Tokyo Olympics campaign underway on Sunday with a hard-fought 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory over German Philipp Kohlschreiber.
The Greek, who was making his Olympic debut, had to battle back from a break down in the third set to advance to the second round in one hour and 54 minutes.
Tsitsipas won 75 per cent (43/57) of his first-service points to set up a meeting with Frances Tiafoe after the American downed Soonwoo Kwon of South Korea 6-3, 6-2.
Ο Στέφανος Τσιτσιπάς απέκλεισε με 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 τον Φίλιπ Κολσράιμπερ.Τον αγώνα του παρακολούθησε ο Πρόεδρος της ΕΟΕ Σπύρος Καπράλος, ο Υφυπουργός Αθλητισμού Λευτέρης Αυγενάκης και ο Πρόεδρος της Επιτροπής Ολυμπιακής Προετοιμασίας Σπύρος Ζαννιάς#tsitsipas#tennis#TeamHellaspic.twitter.com/Wr0XXFt39i

The win came after Tsitsipas reached the first Grand Slam final of his career in June at Roland Garros, but failed just short to the World Number One, Novak Djokovic.
After the final, Tsitsipas announced his beloved grandmother passed away just five minutes before the start of the match.
In an emotional farewell to his grandmother, who died in her village near Karditsa, central Greece, Tsitsipas wrote: “A wise woman whose faith in life, and willingness to give and provide, can’t be compared to any other human being that I have ever met.”
The memories of the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 are indelibly engraved like a tattoo in the memory of everyone who lived them up close. At that time, 17 years ago, every Greek was “grasping” the feasible possibility of happiness, in that event, where Athens presented the best version of Hellenism.
A version that reminds us of the new-fangled “Athens Olympic Museum“, which opened its gates two months ago, after the end of the second lockdown in the country.
Situated, a walk away from the” Olympic Stadium”, on the first floor of the” Golden Hall”, a few metres from there, where you think the triumphal sounds from the opening ceremony, curated by The Great Master of art, Dimitris Papaioannou.
The Olympic Museum of Athens is impressive. It looks like, as you have the opportunity to see from the photos – secured by the “Greek Herald” – taken from the future, but completely respecting the past.
About a week from the start of the most special Olympic Games in their history, in Tokyo, where the fans will not be on the stands, due to the pandemic, we decided to tour, even conceivably, the impressive Olympic Museum of Athens, guided by its Director, Maria Papaioannou.
We started the tour by asking what are the main goals of the Museum.
— Professor Jean Williams (@JeanMWilliams) May 11, 2021
“The idea for the Athens Olympic Museum was born in 2004 and 2 months ago we had the pleasure to open its gates for the general public.
The aim of the museum is to present the history of the Olympic Games from antiquity to the present day, to convey the values of Olympism, highlighting the country from which it all began, but also to honor the Greek athletes who have pioneered the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Athens Olympic Museum which was designed and implemented by Lamda Development S.A. according to international standards it is under the auspices of the Greek and the International Olympic Committee and is a member of the international network of Olympic museums.
The Olympic Museum of Athens aspires to become an international reference point for Olympism and the Olympic Games and is certainly a museum that one would expect to meet by visiting the country that gave birth to the Games “says Ms. Papaioannou to the “Greek Herald”.
With international borders closed in Australia, our readers will still long away from visiting the Museum. Ms. Papaioannou, however, offers us a vivid picture of the exhibits and what a visitor will experience.
“The museum narrates the course of the Olympic Games in time from antiquity to today’s Olympiads, the role of our country and Greek athletes.
The feeling that the museum exudes to the visitor is a journey through time, bathed in light. During this trip, the visitor meets natural, interactive exhibits and sports equipment of Greek Olympians and Paralympians which compose an exciting experience.
The journey through time begins, from the origin of the Games, through a chronological narrative that highlights the three main Greek stations:
The Nativity (Ancient Olympia), with the corresponding Hall representing the stadium of Ancient Olympia, making special reference both to the competitions and rules of the ancient Olympic Games, but also to the victory and the winners.
The Revival (Athens 1896), where in the hall with the Representation of the Kallimarmaros Stadium, there are authentic documents of the historical event, and an audio-visual production describing each day of the games, the events that took place and the winners of each event.
The hall of the return of the Games to Greece (Athens 2004), is a strongly emotionally charged point of the museum’s permanent exhibition, as these games have been indelibly imprinted in the memory of the Greeks.
Colorful costumes from the opening ceremony of Dimitris Papaioannou, have received the necessary preservation and are exhibited to the public. It is part of the rare collection from the imposing procession of the opening ceremony, with figures and mythological figures from frescoes and sculptures. Armor, Byzantine costumes, caryatids and other costumes and constructions dominate the space.
Then, special mention is made to the principles and values, the structure of the International Olympic Movement, the organisations and institutions, the message of World Peace, Sports and athletes, the Greek Olympians and Paralympians and finally to the struggle, the constant effort of man to overcome himself, in every aspect of his life. This was the inspiration for the design of the museum.
The timelessness of the Olympic Games is experienced through the story line, one of the most imposing halls that connects the institution with its landmarks and with history. Here is presented the evolution of the Olympic Games with various benchmarks, such as the first time women participated in the games, the first Winter Games, but also the first exclusively Winter Olympics.
An important legacy is the promotion of the Greek medalists Olympians and Paralympians through the presentation of their personal sports equipment, aiming to be a source of inspiration for the next generations” Ms. Papaioannou tells us.
The effort to enrich the exhibits will be continuous, since there is already planning to have souvenirs from the Tokyo Games, when they are completed.
“For the creation of the museum, it was necessary to study the history of the Olympic Games, but also to cooperate with a variety of institutions. Our cooperation with both the Greek and the International Olympic Committee has been crucial in the creation of the museum. The museological study and the creation of his collection could not be completed without the contribution and support of these two institutions.
In order to document the exhibits, the museological team collaborated with more than 40 national and international cultural institutions, while in the long term the enrichment of its collection will continue along with continuous participation in the Olympic events and the organisation of various educational programs with the participation of the entire Greek Olympic family.
With the completion of the Tokyo Olympics we intend to enrich our collection with new exhibits. In addition, provision has been made in the space for hosting objects from future Olympiads in order to keep the interest of our visitors active”.
The Olympic Museum of Athens is taking its first steps. Just two months of history, but already it has attracted the interest of all of us.
We asked Ms. Papaioannou if visits to the Museum are satisfactory and if there are any plans to organise events ahead of the Games in Tokyo.
“Certainly opening a museum at a time that we all experience with the pandemic, is a challenge. However, the museum received significant public acceptance during its first two months of operation.
Beyond the general public, Athletes of all sports as well as Olympians who come to donate their personal belongings to its collection have already visited the museum.
It has also been visited by the first school students who, through the educational programs of the museum, will be initiated into the principles and values of Olympism and “fair play”.
Regarding the 2nd part of your question, we are planning a program of actions in view of the Tokyo Olympics which we will announce very soon, always taking into account the measures to protect against coronavirus with the aim of ensuring the health of both visitors and employees of the Museum”…
The Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth to link the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf.
Here are 5 fast facts about the Corinth Canal!
Where is the Corinth Canal?
The Corinth Canal separates the mainland of Greece from the Peloponnese Peninsula. Specifically, the Canal links the Gulf of Corinth of the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Technically, the Corinth Canal makes the Peloponnese an island, but since it’s so narrow, most experts still refer to it as a peninsula.
Who started the construction of the Corinth Canal?
Although construction on the Corinth Canal was not completed until 1893, political leaders and sea captains dreamed about building a canal in this location for over 2,000 years. The first documented ruler to propose a canal was Periander in the 7th century B.C. He eventually abandoned the canal plan but did substitute a portage road, named the Diolkos or stone carriageway. The remains of the Diolkos can still be seen today next to the Canal.
When was the Canal completed?
The government of Prime Minister Thrasyvoulos Zaimis passed a law in 1870 authorizing the construction of a Corinth Canal and a French company was hired to oversee the project. It was not long before money became an issue.
A decade passed, and in 1881 the Société Internationale du Canal Maritime de Corinthe was commissioned to build the canal and operate it for the next 99 years. King George I of Greece was present when construction was begun in April 1882. After eight years of work, it ran out of money.
In 1890, construction resumed when the canal project was transferred to a Greek company. The canal was completed in July 1893, eleven years after construction had begun.
How can you see the Canal?
Travellers to Greece have three main options to see the Corinth Canal. First, cruise lines with small ships transit the canal on eastern Mediterranean itineraries.
Second, several private companies depart from Piraeus, the port of Athens, and offer a cruise through the canal.
Finally, cruise ships with a day in Athens often offer a half-day shore excursion to the Corinth Canal for those who have visited Athens before.
How big is the Canal?
The Canal has steep limestone walls that soar about 300 feet from the water level to the top of the Canal but is only 70 feet wide at sea level. Ships must be narrower than 58 feet wide to transit the Canal. This small size was appropriate when the Canal was built in the late 19th century, but it is way too small for today’s cargo and passenger ships.
Sheftalies are a traditional Cypriot sausage made with simple ingredients and cooked over the charcoal.
Ingredients
1 kg pork caul fat see notes
¼ cup vinegar
4 small brown onions, finely diced
1 large bunch of parsley, 60 sprigs, finely chopped
3 kg pork mince
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbs dried mint
30 mL white wine
2 tbs salt
1 tbs black pepper
Method
The first step is to prepare the caul fat so that it is cleaned properly and that there is foul smell. Wash it in a large bowl with plenty of water several times. Then add enough cold water to cover it, as well as the vinegar and let it soak for 15min or until there is no more nasty smell.
In the meantime prepare the mince mixture by finely chopping the parsley and onion. Both of these need to be chopped small enough so that they combine easily with the mince and there aren’t large chunks when you are biting into the sheftalies. You may choose to brown off the onion before adding it to the mixture, to help digest it better but it is not something i tend to do.
Once the parsley and onions are chopped, add them with the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with your hands until everything is well combined.
Wash the caul fat, strain any excess water and place it in the strainer over a bowl. Keep it aside and have it ready to use to roll the sheftalies.
Scoop 70g (a packed ⅓ cup) of the mince mixture and form a 9-10cm long sausage shape (see notes). Place the sausage you have just formed on a tray and continue to do the same until all the mince mixture is finished. If i am making these with someone else, one person usually makes the sausages while the other wraps them into sheftalies.
Before you start using the caul fat you need to check it. If the caul fat has any holes in it do not use it to wrap the mince, otherwise the coating may tear apart. Also if the caul fat veins are too thick I tend to not use it, as they may not render (melt) well when cooked.
Grab a piece of the caul fat carefully and spread it out on a board or your clean working bench. Place the mince log on the edge of the caul fat and then roll it 1.5 times around, folding the sides in as you do. The caul fat will stick together and once it cooks it will render and will hold the sheftalia well. Use a sharp knife and cut off the caul fat surrounding the sheftalia.
Repeat the process until all the mince is wrapped. If any caul fat remains then you must throw it away.
Place the finished sheftalies on a lined tray and put them in the fridge until you are ready to cook them. If you are not cooking them that day then place them in the freezer well wrapped. I only freeze them if I find fresh caul fat to use. Otherwise, if the caul fat is frozen to begin with, I always cook them on the day and I do not freeze the caul fat again.
To cook the sheftalies we tend to fire up the charcoal. The sheftalies should be cooked slowly, not too close to the fire, so that the inside cooks before the outside burns. Instead an even brown colour should form. Otherwise you may choose to heat a grill pan on a high heat cooking each side for 10min or so.
Greek police used teargas and water cannon to disperse people who had gathered in central Athens on Saturday to protest against mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations.
More than 4,000 people rallied outside the Greek parliament for a third time this month to oppose mandatory inoculations for some workers, such as healthcare and nursing staff.
A police official, who asked not to be named, said some protesters had thrown petrol bombs, prompting the police to respond with tear gas.

Recent polls showed the majority of Greeks would get the shot against the COVID-19 which has claimed 12,890 lives in Greece since the pandemic broke out last year. About 45% of a population of 11 million are fully vaccinated.
Greece has ordered the vaccination of healthcare and nursing home staff as cases have risen and urged school teachers to get the shot in time for the start of the school year in September.
Nearly 2,500 cases were reported on Saturday, bringing the total number of infected people to 474,366.
Three goals to Bronte Halligan and a goalkeeping masterclass from Lea Yanitsas has helped Australia to a comfortable 8-5 over Canada in women’s water polo action in Tokyo.
The Stingers led all game thanks to regular goals and Yanitsas’s (13-of-18) 72 per cent save rate, who was praised by both the commentators and her fellow teammates.
Canada worked back to 4-3 in the second quarter before Rowie Webster’s penalty shot skipped off the surface and hit the upright in what could have proved a turning point.

But Australia held their nerve, Zoe Arancini neatly lobbing the Canadian keeper Claire Wright (10 saves from 18 shots) to regain a two-goal buffer they would never relinquish.
The Stingers have finished first, fourth, third, third and sixth since women’s water polo was introduced, with the United States emerging as the clear super power after Australia pipped them for gold in Sydney.
“It’s been a long 16 months since our last international game,” dual bronze medallist Bronwen Knox said.

“I was almost forced into retirement at one stage. It’s a tough slog to continue to be an athlete. I’ve had two-and-a-half years off work now.
“To support myself financially is extremely difficult. I’ve obviously got the support of Water Polo Australia and all my support networks back home.
Greece’s Foreign Ministry expressed on Saturday its “heartfelt condolences” to the families of the victims of the deadly floods and landslides in western India.
“At this difficult time, our thoughts go out to the missing, the injured and the rescue crews. We extend our solidarity to the people and government of India,” it said in a post on Twitter.
At least 112 people have lost their lives in western India in landslides and floods caused by torrential monsoon rains.

In hard-hit Raigad, south of Mumbai, where landslides buried dozens of houses, at least 47 people were killed and 53 others were feared trapped under layers of mud.
The downpour caused the Savitri river to burst its banks, leaving the town of Mahad completely inaccessible by road, and prompting terrified residents to climb onto rooftops and upper floors to escape swelling waters.
A combined rescue operation involving the army, navy and air force was under way to evacuate those stranded by the flooding. Their operations, though, were hampered by high water levels and landslides blocking roads, including the main highway between Mumbai and Goa.
Nearly 90,000 people have been evacuated in Maharashtra so far.
The navy deployed seven rescue teams equipped with rubber boats, life jackets and lifebuoys to the affected areas, along with specialist divers and a helicopter to airlift marooned residents.
A search and rescue operation continued into the night Friday off the coast of the Greek island of Crete for several people believed missing a day after a sailboat carrying dozens of migrants sank in high winds.
Greece’s coast guard said 37 people had been rescued from the sea or the sinking boat by late Thursday. According to survivors, there had been about 45 people on board.
The migration ministry issued a series of tweets late Friday saying that “at least 7 people died, and several more are missing.”
But the coast guard said no bodies had been recovered as of that time, and that eight people were still officially listed as missing.

The Greek ministry laid the blame for the shipwreck on Turkey, from where many people attempt to enter Greece, often using unseaworthy vessels.
“This needless tragedy is what happens when #Turkey fails to act against the criminal gangs and prevent these perilous crossings – it must stop,” the ministry tweeted.
Turkey’s National Defense Ministry said two of its navy ships and one plane were deployed to join the mission in difficult sea and air conditions. The Turkish ministry also put the number of people believed to be missing at eight.
A ministry statement issued Friday said the sailboat sank 161 miles (259 kilometers) from the Turkish coastal town of Kas and about 60 miles (nearly 100 kilometers) south of the Greek island of Karpathos.
Greece is one of the preferred smuggling routes into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The vast majority attempt to cross to Greek islands from the nearby Turkish coast in inflatable dinghies.
Separately Friday, Greek police said 11 people had been arrested for allegedly organizing the transport of migrants who crossed into Greece illegally over its land border with Turkey to the northern city of Thessaloniki using pickup trucks and luxury cars to try and avoid detection.
The EU’s Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation said it has assisted in the investigation against the trafficking ring accused of transporting about 350 migrants in more than 50 transfers, charging 2,000-2,500 euros ($2,350-2,950) per person.
Christina Vithoulkas is one of South Australia’s most followed influencers as she’s regularly seen posing for selfies, perhaps in her underwear, often in delightful holiday locations.
But one thing you’ll never see in Christina’s photos, not since September 2018 at least, is the 26 year-old on her feet. That’s because she became a paraplegic when a jump on her dirt bike went horribly wrong, The Advertiserreports.
‘I knew instantly I’d been paralysed’:
It was supposed to be a fun day back in the Riverland, with Vithoulkas’ twin sister, Irene, and some friends. Vithoulkas had been living in Victoria, working as supervisor of a traffic control crew at Shepparton, and living with her then-boyfriend (and later fiance) and his parents.
It was a new jump, in a new park in Morgan, and she’d never been on it before. On her first run on her Kawasaki 450, it all went wrong. Accelerating up the ramp she tells The Advertiser she was a little slow, and after soaring across the 55ft space, missed her mark.
What happened next was a shock.
“It was my misjudgment… I came up a little short, hit the top of the table top, and my legs were thrown up in the air,” she tells The Advertiser.

Off the bike, she landed on her head, and the force of the impact snapped her spine over so that her backside hit her skull. She was unconscious for about five minutes.
“I knew instantly I’d been paralysed,” Vithoulkas says of her first thoughts when she came to. “I knew I’d done a good job of it this time. I wasn’t quite, like scared or anything. I just knew my life had completely changed.”
According to the SA media outlet, Vithoulkas spent three days in intensive care with fractured ribs, a torn spleen, fractured skull, a neck fracture and various other injuries. She had 12 screws and two rods placed in her back. But a permanently damaged T5 vertebrae in the middle of her back left her a paraplegic, unable to walk but with use of her arms.
Transferred to Victoria’s Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, she was determined to be their speediest patient ever. Vithoulkas was gone in seven and a half weeks.
‘I want to normalise disability’:
This determined spirit has always been a part of Vithoulkas. Growing up in a small vineyard in Barmera in the Riverland with her parents, Maria and Jim, and sister, she never let anything get in the way of her passion for riding dirt bikes on the family property.
“I’m very stubborn,” she says. “I lived and breathed it. I would ride three times a week, sacrifice my weekends and studies. Riding just took over my life.”
Vithoulkas even raced in motocross competitions and freestyle motocross, an individual event where riders at her level accelerate up a metal ramp, jump a 55ft gap (17.7m), and land on a dirt ramp. Crashes were common but still none were as impactful as that fateful crash in September 2018.

The other thing you won’t see is Vithoulkas looking sorry for herself. And that is because, despite the loss of feeling and movement below her chest, she doesn’t accept that her life is worse. What you do see, though, is more than you may ever want to know about the nitty-gritty of what it is like to be disabled.
“I realised that what I needed was to get back on the bike to make me happy,” she says. “That’s why I don’t regret what I did, because getting back on the bike was the best thing for me to get out of that rut.”
Her father was concerned. “My dad and I actually had this conversation about being paralysed – you know, ‘what happens if you end up in a wheelchair?’. And I was like, I’m not going to regret it. I’m doing exactly what I want to do; this is what makes me happy. And to this day I still have that same attitude. I do not regret anything, not even the day I went riding …”
Getting back on the road
She’d hoped to somehow get back on the bike, but while she can ride, she can’t be competitive with able-bodied riders. Drifting, she thinks, will give her a level playing field with other competitors – as well as get her heart racing again.
On the first corner of her first ride in a drift car, “I instantly knew that the feeling I got … was the exact same feeling I got on the dirt bike,” she says. “With drifting, I don’t have any expectations. But I know even if I’m the worst one out there, I will not stop till I’m at a competing level. If that takes me five years I’ll keep on going.”
Stubbornness is clearly a trait. It’s also helps maintain the positive attitude that sees her accident as a “blessing in disguise”.
“This was the best thing that could have ever happened to me because of the person I’ve turned into, the strength I’ve gained, the resilience, just everything about who I am right now,” Vithoulkas says.
“I loved that Christina before – she had a great life – I’m so glad I did what I did. But I want this Christina, this version of me. It’s just brought out the best in me and the way I live with my life and the way I go about my life. I don’t know how to explain it, I just live in a state of appreciation, to enjoy moments even more than I would before.”
Without the accident, she says she would probably have accepted a life that wasn’t as good as it could be. In a way she was paralysed mentally, unable to make changes, and the accident clarified her thinking.
“We service our cars every 10,000km, and I service my brain every week. What do I have to do this week to make me happier? What’s draining me, what’s not draining me.”
