5/6/2026

Under the leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and through live connections established with Istanbul, Kahramanmaraş, and North Macedonia, the Beyazıt Madrasa, the FSMVU Topkapı Campus, the Kahramanmaraş Grand Mosque, and the Hacı Mahmut Bey Mosque in Bitola (Manastır)—whose restorations had been completed—were simultaneously inaugurated.

Following the live connections, the opening ceremony of 202 waqf monuments was held under the auspices of our President, with the participation of our Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, and our Director General, Mr. Sinan Aksu, and the monuments were officially presented to the service of our people through a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

We wish that these valuable monuments, reopened for worship and visitation, will be beneficial for our nation and our country.

"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."
