Dear Friends.

Didymoteicho is a small town now at Greek Thrace. In past time was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire in Europe and was a sacred place especially for  the Bektashi Sufi Order. In the central square of the town is the Chelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque or the Grand Mosque in Didymoteicho. This is the first Muslim mosque in Europe, except the Mezquita de Bab al-Mardum at Toledo, Spain!!! It is a world arhitectural heritage, but is abandoned.... Because of the time's passage and by reason of the indifference of the competent State Authorities for a lot of years, at the present moment the Grand Mosque is in a very serious danger to destroyed! We call every one goodwill person to take act for the saving of the Grand Mosque in Didymoteicho. For the save andabandoned World Heritage. For the save the first Muslim holy place of worship which has builded in Europe. 

Into the worship places, either are Christian, either Muslim or Jewish, we worship the same God, A and Ω of the world history and of the eternity. 

We have made the "Save the Grand Mosque in Didymoteicho, Greece" Group in Facebook and you can join with it, if you want. We have made this Petition site too, for the saving of the Mosque. Thanks a lot for taking time to read this message.
