He said that Koran holiday should be introduced through religious measures.â€œAfter USSR was collapsed, Turkish Republics gained independence and there was a problem in them. Though Gurban holiday was marked 4 days in the whole Islamic world and Hajj visit was held within this period, this holiday was marked one day in these countries. This does not coincide with Moslem rules. Information about sacrificing sheep and distributing mutton should be learnt from religious books. Secular rules can not work in this issue,â€ he said.
Abdulgadir Sezgin mentioned that there is great demand to animals due to Gurban holiday.
â€œAs there is great demand for animal in Gurban holiday, prices also rise. But Sellers should be well-behaved and gracious as Gurban is a holiday of moral values. This issue is linked with perceiving Moslem right,â€ he said.
â€œPeople face injustice in monopoly environment, and this shake faith to state bodies. This process also causes several constraints in society,â€ he said. /APA/
