In the evening of the failed coup attempt led by Fetullah Terorist Organization (FETÖ), a person attacked the Imam and a community member with a chopper at a mosque in the Fatih district of Istanbul.
Imam Mr Tunaoğlu said the following:
“While we were sitting in the mosque, a man came up to us with a chopper. He asked us why the doors were closed. We said the doors were open. He replied to us “From now on everyone will speak as he wishes. Your era has gone away”. I walked out of the mosque. My purpose was opening the door and letting the person walk away. This place is where people pray. We have no tools to defend us. Before I open the door, the man attacked a community member with the chopper.”
