Hundreds of people shared the blessings of Ramadan together at the heartfelt tables set in Kırcaali.

As the adhan was recited, dozens of compatriots in the area enjoyed the happiness of having iftar together.
Grand Mufti of Bulgaria Mustafa Aliş Hacı; “Until 10-15 years ago, we could not have thought that we would experience something like this. Now, we are experiencing the blessings of Ramadan with our brothers and sisters, with a table of hearts set from miles away. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our Sultangazi Mayor, Abdurrahman Dursun,” he said.
Same heart, different geography
Sultangazi Mayor Abdurrahman Dursun said, “Based on the slogan of a Ramadan with family warmth, we wanted to show that we are with our brothers living in different geographies. Last year, we brought our iftar tables to the Balkans. This year, we wanted to be with our brothers and have iftar together with them. We said let’s share the blessings of Ramadan with our compatriots living there, in our own geography of heart. Have a nice Ramadan at the same table, in the same heart.” – ISTANBUL
