Şaban Kondi, General Manager of Religious Services at the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), provided information regarding the programs they will organize nationwide for the "July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day."

CIRCULAR SENT TO 81 PROVINCES

Stating that July 15 was "an epic victory won with the help of God and the courage and foresight of the nation," Kondi reported that they had sent a circular to 81 provinces and 922 districts under the title "From Coups That Silenced the Adhan to Selas That Silenced the Coups" as part of the programs to be implemented for the anniversary.

Kondi stated that within the scope of the circular, programs would be held in 90,000 mosques, youth centers, family and religious guidance offices, youth offices, and summer Quran courses for more than 2.5 million students and their parents, adding that they "aim to remind people of the FETÖ structure and create awareness regarding July 15."

Kondi continued his remarks as follows:

"The sela will be recited from all our mosques in our 81 provinces and 922 districts at 00:13 on the night connecting July 15 to July 16. We will invite our nation to a revival once again to create awareness about the games played against our unity, our brotherhood, and our country. Along with this, in our large mosques in city centers, prayers for the khatm al-Quran performed with broad public participation will be held, and the Mevlid-i Sharif will be recited. Additionally, a 'Martyrs' Commemoration Program' will be held at cemeteries under the organization of the Presidency of Religious Affairs. Within the scope of this program, the Holy Quran will be recited again, and prayers will be offered. May God not give another opportunity to those who would engage in such treacherous uprisings against this nation again."
