Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of the May 19th Atatürk Commemoration, Youth and Sports Day.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

“We are experiencing the joy of celebrating together as a nation the 107th anniversary of May 19, 1919, which constituted the first step on the road to the establishment of the Republic of Türkiye and changed the destiny of our nation.”

The struggle for independence, initiated by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in Samsun on May 19, 1919, represents the rebirth of a nation that was intended to be buried in history, and its march towards a free and prosperous future.

With the War of Independence, the last great struggle we waged for our independence and future, our beloved nation declared its love for its homeland and flag, and its determination to live freely, to the whole world; the process leading to the establishment of our Republic has also served as an example for the independence struggles of other nations.

The torch lit on May 19, 1919, continues to illuminate our path in our struggle to elevate our nation above the level of contemporary civilizations.

Today, keeping these feelings alive is a great responsibility that falls upon all of us, especially the youth to whom Atatürk entrusted the Republic.

Dear young people, the future of the Republic of Türkiye, founded on this land defended at the cost of the lives of our revered martyrs, is entrusted to you, who are raised with this consciousness of independence.

Ensuring that you receive the best possible upbringing and a high-quality education in line with the demands of the modern age is our most important goal as a state and a nation.

Our deep love and devotion to this land and our history, shared in unity and solidarity, and our confidence in the happy and prosperous future we will create together, will bind us even closer as a nation.

We wholeheartedly believe that our youth will work with dedication to carry our Republic, which is entrusted to their care, into the future.

“I commemorate with gratitude and appreciation all our martyrs and veterans, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who entrusted this meaningful day to our youth, and I celebrate the 19th May Atatürk Commemoration, Youth and Sports Day.”

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

“With its climate, fertile lands, and strategic importance, our heavenly homeland Turkey is our most precious treasure. These fertile lands have enabled the cultivation of the highest quality agricultural products. The contribution of our farmers, who shed their sweat on our fertile and generous lands, to the growth and development of the economy is immense.”

The labor of our farmers, who earn their living from the land and add value to the products they obtain from it before delivering them to us, is sacred. In recent years, very successful work has been carried out in the field of agriculture in our country, and our agricultural sector has shown significant growth.

Our dedicated farmers, who work at every stage of agricultural and livestock production, are of paramount importance in increasing production and productivity, improving their living conditions, bringing their products to market, and in the development of agriculture and livestock in our country and region.

For centuries, our province has offered the richness of nature to civilizations with its climate and fertile lands. Knowing the value of this geography, we understand the importance of agriculture in economic development. Agriculture’s contribution to meeting food demands, capital accumulation, expanding the domestic market, providing employment, contributing to national income and the market, increases the importance that should be given to agriculture. Therefore, we are working to develop agricultural activities in our province, carrying out projects, and supporting farming, the oldest profession of humankind, which combines patience, sincerity, and hard work for a productive, prosperous, and peaceful society.

With these feelings and thoughts, I celebrate the 14th of May World Farmers’ Day for our farmers who earn their living from the land, who work the land, and who bring us the products they obtain from it.”

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

A mother’s love is unconditional, her patience is endless, and her prayers accompany us throughout our lives. Even in the most difficult moments, our mothers embrace their children with hope; their voices bring peace, and their presence is a source of security. Motherhood is not just about bringing a child into the world; it’s about shaping a life with effort, faith, and love. Mother’s Day is an important occasion to remember this unique value and express our gratitude.

On this meaningful day, I am delighted to celebrate Mother’s Day for all mothers who are at the center of our lives with their compassion, sacrifices, and love.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) beautifully expressed the value given to mothers by saying, “Paradise lies at the feet of mothers.” Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk also expressed his respect for Turkish women and mothers with the words, “Everything in the world is the work of women,” clearly emphasizing their place in society.

Throughout history, mothers have been one of the most important forces determining the fate of our nation. In Çanakkale and the War of Independence, Anatolian women carried ammunition to the front lines, selflessly sent their sons off to fight for their country, and, when necessary, took part in the struggle for independence, making significant contributions.

Our mothers, who raise their children to be individuals beneficial to their country, nation, and humanity, are the cornerstone of society and the most secure guarantee of our future.

On this occasion, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all mothers, especially the mothers of our beloved martyrs, on Mother’s Day, and wish them a lifetime of health, peace, and happiness.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

Celebrating its 181st anniversary, our Police Organization has been working with great dedication for nearly two centuries to ensure the indivisible integrity of the Homeland and Nation, the peace and happiness of our people, the safety of life and property, and to protect human rights and freedoms.

Our security forces, who serve shoulder-to-shoulder with our citizens in their duties such as maintaining public order, ensuring security, taking preventive measures against crime, and bringing perpetrators to justice, put their own lives on the line for the security of our country and our beloved nation.

Policing is not just a profession; it is a sacred duty performed with a high sense of responsibility, a strong emphasis on duty, and a deep belief in justice. This effort to protect human life, uphold the law, and maintain social peace requires great dedication and courage.

With these feelings and thoughts, I celebrate the 181st Anniversary of the Turkish Police Organization, commemorate with respect the police officers who were martyred while fulfilling their duties, express my gratitude to our veteran police officers, and wish health, success, and happiness to those currently serving and those who have retired, along with their families.

“We are experiencing the excitement and joy of reaching the blessed month of Ramadan, the sultan of eleven months, a time of mercy, blessings, and forgiveness that the Islamic world has been eagerly awaiting.”

This month is a sacred month in which our holy book, the Quran, began to be revealed, and in which we observe the fast.

During this holy month, tending to the wounds of our poor and needy brothers and sisters, sitting at the same table regardless of wealth or poverty, age or youth, and standing side by side will make our unity and solidarity more meaningful and stronger.

Furthermore, during these precious days, we should pay even more attention to not neglecting our precious Martyr Families, our heroic Veterans, mothers, fathers, and all our elders, who are the legacy of our revered martyrs.

I pray to Almighty God that in this month of mercy and forgiveness, filled with blessings, He will not withhold love from our hearts, abundance from our tables, and peace and happiness from our homes; that He will grant us many more beautiful days where friendship, peace, and brotherhood prevail; and that He will accept our fasting and our acts of worship.

With these feelings and thoughts, I congratulate all my fellow citizens from Erzurum and Istanbul, our beloved nation, and the entire Islamic world on the blessed month of Ramadan.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

We are observing the blessed Night of Berat, a night of mercy and forgiveness, together in peace and joy that fills our hearts.

Berat (the Night of Forgiveness) enables Muslims to attain divine grace and blessings, to live with a sense of servitude to God, to be purified from sins, to be forgiving as well as to be forgiven, and to develop a consciousness of pardoning alongside being pardoned.

The Night of Berat prepares us for the month of Ramadan, whose shadow falls upon us, by constantly reflecting on our servitude to God, drawing us closer to Him, strengthening our resolve to obey His commands and prohibitions, and illuminating our darkened hearts.

To benefit from the blessings and grace of this night, and to attain divine mercy and forgiveness, we should consider this night of pardon and salvation as an opportunity.

On the occasion of the Night of Berat, I pray to Almighty God that we may enter the month of Ramadan with hearts cleansed of all mistakes and sins, having received His forgiveness. I congratulate the Night of Berat of our dear nation and the entire Islamic world, especially my esteemed fellow citizens of Erzurum and Istanbul.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

‘We are experiencing the joy of once again celebrating the blessed Miraj Night, which is filled with many divine blessings and graces. Miraj, one of the miracles of our Prophet, where religious feelings reach their highest level and God’s mercy is abundantly bestowed upon believers, is the Prophet’s acceptance into the exalted presence of God Almighty and, through him, an unlimited ascent opened before humanity.’

On this blessed night, when our hearts are filled with extraordinary joy, we should strive to understand the meaning of our Prophet’s blessed journey and fulfill our duties as human beings. Taking advantage of the spiritual atmosphere of the Miraj Night, we should eliminate our conflicts, grudges, and resentments, open our hands and hearts to everyone we can reach, and strive to ensure that the atmosphere of love and peace of mind demanded by our noble religion is maintained, that our brotherhood and unity are strengthened, and that human and moral virtues are always kept alive.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

On the occasion of January 10th, Working Journalists’ Day, I extend my sincerest congratulations to all journalists who, beyond being the eyes, ears, and voice of our nation, represent the social conscience and fulfill their duty of providing the public with accurate news with great dedication.

In today’s world, where information spreads rapidly, media platforms diversify, and the influence of the digital world increases every day, access to accurate and reliable news has become more important than ever. While access to information has become easier, accessing accurate and truthful information has become more difficult. In this context, the journalism profession has great importance in accurately informing society and enlightening public opinion. Principled journalism makes significant contributions to ensuring peace, tranquility, and security in our country, while misused journalism can destroy this environment. The journalistic profession, carried out with a sense of social responsibility, professional ethics, and impartiality, creates a power of oversight on behalf of the public, making a great contribution to the development and protection of democracy.

Journalism is not just a profession; it is also a challenging task carried out with a great sense of social responsibility. In today’s world, journalists, who perform their duties with great dedication during times of crisis, wars, or global pandemics, are the most valuable representatives of the profession. In their pursuit of truth, journalists represent the conscience of society by adhering to the principle of impartiality and professional ethics, and they fulfill their duty of providing the public with accurate and reliable information in the best possible way.

However, it is crucial that the press, while fulfilling these important duties, remains committed to professional ethics, adheres to the principle of impartiality, and does not forget its responsibility to society. The press must ensure the flow of accurate and objective information while simultaneously safeguarding the public interest and respecting the rights of individuals and institutions. This approach will enhance the credibility of our press in the eyes of the public and enable it to play a more effective role in its development.

Aware of the dedicated work of journalists and the great sacrifices they make in carrying out their profession, we appreciate their efforts, both at the national and local levels, to provide our citizens with accurate, reliable, and timely information.

With these feelings and thoughts, I once again celebrate the Working Journalists’ Day on January 10th for all our journalists; and I wish them a healthy, peaceful, and successful year. I also pray for God’s mercy upon the journalists who lost their lives while on duty.
