Bosnian Muslims Celebrate 505 yrs of Islam in Bosnia

TEHRAN (IQNA) - One of the most important symbols of Bosnian Muslims is the remembrance of the Ayvaz Dede memory where the celebrations of the 505th year have come to an end.

With the longest journey being the most important part of the festivities, many horseback riders have now reached Prusats having travelled from various cities in Bosnia. The celebrations have been attended by a large number of people, including attendees from Turkey.

The President of the Islamic Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina Hussain Kavazovich explained the importance of preserving tradition saying that "Our grandfathers and fathers were able to maintain this tradition in the most difficult of times".
