They're fanatics.  They won't listen to reason.

It's actually a museum now.
When Justinianus built it was just Chalcedonian christian so catholic and orthodox anyways.

well, there being turks in Austria -or there being Turks at all- annoys me too. So fuck them.

One should bear in mind that the group complaining is "The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria" group rather than Austrian Turks en masse. I would suspect that group is composed of humourless arseholes with multiple chips on their shoulders who are self-appointed leaders of the "Turkish community", the average Turk in Austria is probably a far more pleasant and less touchy individual.

They're pretty much the official mouthpiece of the Turkish community, though. But I agree that most Turks probably won't care.

What do the Austrian-Greek community have to say about this?
