ESAM Chairman Recai Kutan in his condolence message, "He was a mujahid brother whom we had known since his youth and who served his cause with his hard work and endless energy. In addition to his work on the Islamic world, he always prioritized the cause of Palestine and Jerusalem. May God have mercy on our brother Hasan Bitmez, our board member, and I wish patience to his family and our entire community. Rest in peace. Sorry for our loss," he said.
