New project for Hajj meat introduced to Turkey

"New project for Hajj meat introduced to Turkey
Every year over 2 million people -- including 120,000 from Turkey --- visit Mecca to fulfill their Hajj, the Arabic word for pilgrimage.

The rituals performed as a part of the Hajj are not limited to walking, running and praying: there is also the sacrifice.
