ANKARA: Turkey is to ask for the return of the bones of national Saint Nicholas from their display in Italy, local media reported on Friday. Saint Nicholas, from the modern-day town of Demre on southern Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, is, according to tradition, the ancestor of Father Christmas. His remains are said to have been stolen by Italian pirates in the 11th century.

Perhaps while they are at it, they could also return the Hagia Sophia to the Christians.
