Reception of H.E. Mr. Cihad Erginay, Ambassador of Turkey, at the Mosque Foundation of Granada

The president of the Mosque Foundation of Granada and of the Islamic Community in Spain, Umar del Pozo, together with Luqman Nieto, vice-president of the Mosque Foundation of Seville, accompanied by Abdellah Castiñeira, Imam Khatib of the Great Mosque of Granada and Khadija Martinez, yesterday received His Excellency Mr. Cihad Erginay, Ambassador of Turkey in Spain and his wife, at the Fundación Mezquita de Granada.

The reception was shortly before the Maghrib prayer and the iftar or breaking the fast. We had the pleasure of having the Ambassador present for both things and to share with him some very pleasant moments. The Ambassador was interested in the history of the mosque as well as the needs of Muslims and how the Turkish embassy can help.

During the visit, he was shown the facilities of the mosque and the cultural center and the different activities that are carried out such as the publication of books or classes.

It was an honour to honour His Excellency Mr. Cihad Erginay and we hope that he will be able to repeat this visit soon and that we will also be able to receive him in Seville.
