A lectern of Islamic theology has been opened in the French city of Strasbourg through the permission of the city hall and the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs.

The education will be in Turkish and students who complete the program will receive their diplomas from the Istanbul University Faculty of Theology.
 
Currently, 236 imams authorized by the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs are operating in France, while nearly 2,000 such imams are providing services around Europe.
