Diyanet President Arpaguş conducts official visit to the United States

Safi Arpaguş, President of the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), has undertaken an official visit to the United States to inspect religious services and meet with Muslim leaders. During his trip, Arpaguş visited the Diyanet Center of America (DCA), where he received briefings on religious education and services from Religious Services Counselor Fatih Kanca. He also visited the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C., to meet with Ambassador Sedat Önal.

Arpaguş met with religious services attachés from various states to discuss field challenges, demands, and needs. His itinerary included visiting the DCA Montessori School and meeting with students in hafiz classes. While performing Friday prayers at the DCA complex, he delivered a sermon addressing the importance of family protection and unity.

During a meeting with the Turkish community, Arpaguş delivered a conference titled ‘Our Spiritual Values, Our Family, and Our Future.’ In his remarks, he warned against the influence of FETÖ and similar separatist movements, describing them as entities that harm social unity by attempting to alienate youth from their families and mislead them against their country and people.
