This thesis analyzes the reconversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque in Türkiye in 2020 in the framework of right-wing populism. The reconversion will be discussed regarding the politics of the ruling Justice and Development Party and the broader socio-political context in Türkiye. The study has adopted the critical discourse analysis to conduct a textual analysis of the political text and talk obtained from two different sources, parliamentary proceedings, and media speeches regarding the reconversion. The study's main aim is to critically evaluate the political discourse surrounding the Hagia Sophia in relation to its cultural, political, and symbolic meanings. Hence, the portrayal of the reconversion through the political discourse will be discussed according to the JDP’s ongoing populist politics.
