An NGO linked to Turkey's Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet) outlined its charity aid work Tuesday for the upcoming holy month of Ramadan and beyond, including iftar (fast-breaking) meals and vital supplies to people in war-torn countries.
Mustafa Tutkun, head of the Turkish Diyanet Foundation (TDV), said the group will provide refugees in Turkey with iftar meals during Ramadan -- the sunrise-to-sunset fasting holy month, falling on June 5-July 6 this year.
Turkey adopted an open-door policy towards Syrian refugees in 2011, opening its borders to people fleeing the civil war, and now hosts around 3 million refugees. (Courtesy of dailysabah.com)
