As it is known the minority does not accept the muftis appointed by the state but elect their own muftis with an excuse that the religious rights given in the Treaty of Lausanne are violated. In this framework, the appointed mufti regent was invited to the opening of the new school year in Medrese-i Hayriye High School (a high school focused on religious affaires) by the assistant manager of the school without informing neither the teachers nor the students.
In this occasion, the students gathered and set a wall in the entrance of the school with an intention to prevent the mufti regent to enter the school. Mufti regent claimed that there is no need of invitation because he is an officer of the state, however the students insisted that this matter is a violance.
After a while the mufti regent was entered through the back gate. However the mufti regent and his helpers succeeded nothing as the students left the school this time. Yet the opening ceremony was held with the attendance of the mufti regent without any student.
