The opening of a lodge organized by the İsmailağa Community in the Of district of Trabzon saw a heavy turnout of AKP politicians. Former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu broke his long silence at this event, taking a seat in the front rows. Other notable figures attending the ceremony included Presidential Advisor Oktay Saral, former Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoğlu, and AKP Trabzon Deputy Vehbi Koç.
The fact that Süleyman Soylu sat side-by-side with Salih Topçu—who is known to be in competition over "sheikhdom" with Cübbeli Ahmet Hoca, who was distanced from the community—became one of the most discussed details of the ceremony. The significance of this seating arrangement and the message Soylu intended to convey with this move have become a subject of debate.
