Erzurum Technical University (ETU) Rector Prof. Dr. Bülent Çakmak published a message regarding the violence inflicted by Israeli forces on the Palestinian people worshiping in Masjid al-Aqsa.

Rector Bülent Çakmak stated the following in his message: The inhuman practices of Israel in Masjid al-Aqsa, the first qibla of Muslims and the holy place of the heavenly religions, are shameful for humanity. Israel's intensification of these arbitrary actions on exceptional days such as the Night of Power deeply injures the entire Islamic world. However, the late Nuri Pakdil's "I carry Jerusalem like a wristwatch / Adjusted To Jerusalem You spend your time in vain "Jerusalem and Masjid al-Aqsa are the red lines of Muslims, and it will remain so.
