The Head of Turkish Religious Affairs Department Dr. Ali Birdaq Oglu commended the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its defense of the issues of Islam and Muslims all over the world as well as its works for unifying their ranks. In a press statement, he praised the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for calling for the previous Conference of Dialogue Between Followers of Religions, noting that the Conference pointed to the King's farsightedness about the issues of the Islamic nation. Oglu appreciated great services provided by the Kingdom to pilgrims and Umrah performers and praised gigantic projects executed in the holy places. He commended the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance for inviting a number of Muslim scholars to visit the Kingdom and perform Umrah rituals during the blessed month of Ramadan.
