After the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, the shoes worn by MIT President Ibrahim Kalın while praying at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus drew attention. The price of Kalın's shoes was widely discussed on social media.
The 61-year-old Ba'ath regime in Syria was overthrown after 12 days of operations by opposition groups. Following Bashar al-Assad and his family's escape to Russia, MIT President Ibrahim Kalın made the first high-level visit to Damascus. Ibrahim Kalın also prayed at the Umayyad Mosque.
It was reported that the vehicle that brought Kalın to the mosque was driven by HTS leader Colani himself. The person at the wheel, who was said to be Colani, was seen wearing a suit. Turkish security personnel also accompanied the MIT President on this important visit, and strict security measures were taken.
One detail that did not go unnoticed during Ibrahim Kalın's visit to Damascus, which has been a hot topic, was the shoes he wore. In a photo shared by journalist Kemal Öztürk, Kalın's shoes surprised many. The fact that the shoes worn by Ibrahim Kalın are locally produced and priced at 3700 TL sparked a lot of discussion on social media.
