Thailand Receives Restored Quran Manuscripts From Turkey

Thailand has received old collections of six Al -Quran manuscripts from Turkey after they were sent for restoration in Ankara in mid-2013, Thai News Agency (TNA) reported.

The manuscripts were received by among others Thai ambassador to Turkey Tharit Charungwat, Foreign Affairs deputy permanent secretary Narong Sasitorn and representatives of Samanmitrwitthaya from Narathiwat Province in the far South at a ceremony in Ankara on Monday.

Samanmitrwittaya representative Mahamalutfi Hayisamae said Turkey had offered to help restore the 150 to 1,200-year-old Al-Quran manuscripts, which were part of his school's heritage collection, at no cost.



The remaining 60 Al-Quran manuscripts from Mahamalutfi's school will be sent to Turkey for restoration in future.
