CURRENT STATUS OF OUR ANCESTRAL SOUP KITCHEN RESTORATION PROJECT ASSESSED

11/3/2026

Mr. Mehmet Baykan, AK Party Member of Parliament for Konya; our Director General, Mr. Sinan Aksu; Mr. Uğur İbrahim Altay, Mayor of Konya Metropolitan Municipality; and their accompanying delegation visited our soup kitchen project, a legacy entrusted to us by Sultan Selim II and Sahip Ata Fahreddin Ali, and conducted on-site inspections of the ongoing restoration works.

The restoration of our soup kitchen, with a capacity to serve 1,000 people, is scheduled for completion in December 2026. The facility will carry forward the centuries-old tradition of charity, mutual assistance, and solidarity upheld by our waqf civilization.

"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
