Together with the embassy and the volunteers of Guide.ua, they created a translation of audio tours of Hagia Sophia, and now the museum's management included it on the list of languages ​​for sound audio tours in Hagia Sophia. This was reported by Channel 24.

Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya Müzesi) in Istanbul speaks Ukrainian. Consul General of Ukraine in Istanbul Alexander Hamann and employees of the Consulate General have confirm this.

They have noted that work on the creation of the Ukrainian audio guide began more than six months ago. The Consulate General expresses gratitude to Turkish colleagues and volunteers who supported this idea and helped make Istanbul even more interesting for Ukrainian-speaking tourists.

‘We promise not to stop on this. We are working to ensure that the Ukrainian language in Turkey and, in particular, in the tourist Istanbul, was more there,” added the General Consulate.
