In a statement, İTB denounced the attempt by government-appointed religious figures to enter the mosque during the Friday service, calling the act a deliberate provocation against the Muslim Turkish Minority of Western Thrace. The statement emphasized that the community stands by its elected Mufti, Mustafa Trampa, and rejected the government’s efforts to impose appointed officials on the community.
