Stating that he had written a letter to the Pope two weeks ago, Minguzzi said, "Today, I had the honor of meeting His Holiness the Pope as part of his apostolic visit to Turkey. I asked him to bless Ahmet and our family. Our greatest wish is for his memory to continue to inspire peace. I asked him to pray for the mission of brotherhood we are carrying out. I expressed to His Holiness that Mattia Ahmet is also seen by Muslims as an angel of brotherhood, and therefore could be a meeting point for believers, so that every action we take may turn into a real good in the lives of other people. I offer my deepest gratitude to His Holiness for accepting me, receiving me into his presence, and fulfilling one of the greatest dreams of my life."
