In cooperation with the Foundations Administration of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the KEİ Office of our Embassy in Nicosia, our Directorate General is establishing daily iftar tables for 500 people at the Selimiye Mosque Bedesten and Kuğulu Park in Nicosia.
These iftar tables, which will reach a total of 14,500 people throughout the month of Ramadan, will bring hearts together in the same prayer.
"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
