As long as you live your religion, tradition and language in peace here we will be happy back in Anatolia," Davutoglu told a group of Macedonians attending the Salat Al-Jum'ah, Muslims' Friday congregational prayer at a historical Ottoman mosque in Skopje, Macedonian capital, Anadolu Agency reported.
