The Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) organized the World Jerusalem Day as it celebrated every year of Ramadan every year. Guests from abroad participated in the program which brought together Jerusalem lovers. Chairman of the High Advisory Council of Saadet Party Oğuzhan Asiltürk, Saadet Party Deputy Chairman Ilyas Tongüç, Iran's Ambassador to Ankara Muhammed Farazmand, Undersecretary of Pakistan Ambassador Abdül Akbar and Undersecretary of Palestine Ambassador Azmi Gaddera attended the program held in Ankara Birikim Schools.
Speaking at the opening of the program AGD and the National Youth Foundation (MGV) President Salih Turhan, Mecca after the world's oldest city Jerusalem for a combination, "After the Holy Haram, the world's oldest shrine for the Holy Mosque is here today. The future of Jerusalem is closely related to every Muslim as the future of his home, his family and his children. The Prophet Muhammad 'Go to the Masjid al-Aqsa and pray in it'. If you can't go there and pray in prayer, send olive oil to be burned in their lamps. Of course here olive oil is a symbol. To have a city that has been the center of revelation, communion and struggle throughout history, it is to give all kinds of support to that land to be an Islamic city. Today, we are here today to drop olive oil on the candles of Masjid al-Aqsa, to send prayer to the skies of Jerusalem, to sprinkle water on the hearts of our Palestinian brothers and sisters," he said.
Iran's Ambassador to Ankara, Mohammed Farazmand, recalled that the enemies and Zionist outbreaks in Palestine put the Treaty of the Century into effect and said, "They are trying to end the Jerusalem case by taking advantage of the Middle East's current turmoil. A dangerous era of global Zionism, the Islamic Ummah and its conspiracies against the Palestinian cause, has entered a dangerous period. As such, it is regrettable that some Muslim states are stripped of their craftsmanship and that the steps of the establishment of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation take a step towards reconciliation with the Palestinian occupiers, instead of restoring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, which is one of the fundamental philosophies. We shout loudly that the Palestinian cause is alive, standing upright".
The international community must intervene to stop bloodshed in the occupied Palestinian territories. In order to emphasize the Palestinian issue strongly, there must be unity between the Muslim ummah. The divisions in the Muslim nation only benefit Israel.
Asilturk said that Zionism led people to disaster, Zionists made the 19 Crusade by deceiving Westerners. Western historians tell about the period of persecution of Jerusalem and 100 thousand Muslims are massacred. When Selahaddin Eyyubi conquered Jerusalem, I believe in Omer's justice. Everyone will be free, he said. He did it. This is Islam. We have to come together against the persecution of the West. The West only understands power. We need to establish the Islamic Union. We have to fix the problems between the brothers. Islam is a science. We need to do what Islam says. We cannot act according to the Western order.
