Tampere Turkish Society

In January 1935, it organized a celebration during Ramadan, where an active member of their community, Mehrusa Wafin held a speech.

In her speech, she emphasized how establishing their own society would create interest in their peoples history and culture and thus hope for the future.

[1] Afterwards, the members of the society have described it as being a very important aspect in conserving and developing their linguistic, religious and cultural life; a job that has been carried on since by The Tampere Islamic Congregation.

Gibadulla Murtasin, the man who had previously written about the subject, was a very important contributor in forming the society and in arranging its events.

[1] The society had many chairmen, for example: the above-mentioned Murtasin, Semiulla Wafin, Ymär Sali and Aisa Hakimcan.
