In a bid to expand scientific and cultural collaboration between research centers engaged in interfaith dialogue, members of the International Foundation for Honoring Religions and Denominations met with the head of the Islamic Research Foundation of Astan Quds Razavi.

During the meeting, both sides introduced their academic, research, and international activities and achievements.

They discussed the potential for joint cooperation, especially in areas related to sacred sites and the Anatolian region.

The representatives of the International Foundation outlined their global initiatives, particularly in promoting interreligious dialogue and denominational proximity.

They expressed readiness to engage in scholarly exchange, share experiences, and participate in joint research projects.

One of the key topics discussed was the study of religious and cultural movements in Anatolia, with a focus on the Bektashi tradition and the Alevi community in Turkey. These traditions hold historical and spiritual ties to the teachings of Ahl ul-Bait.

At the end of the meeting, both parties agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in research, publishing, and organizing academic and cultural events.

The agreement is expected to strengthen bilateral collaboration, foster shared religious discourse, and utilize the scholarly potential of the Islamic world to promote unity among denominations and spread the teachings of Ahl al-Bait.
