Asfa Holding Board Chairman, Philanthropist and Businessman Asaf Atasoy, published a message on the occasion of Father’s Day.

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

As an indispensable element of family life, a father is an expression of self-sacrifice and unconditional love to provide all kinds of support that his wife and children need throughout life.

Our compassionate father, who holds our hands when we take our first steps in life and is there when we need help with his love and confidence, is our source of security with his presence.

Our fathers, whom we chose as playmates when we were children, who were our heroes, whose support we sought throughout our lives, and whose shadows we always felt over us, even though they were sometimes far away, are people who devoted their lives to their families in order to raise us.

Our fathers strive for the happiness, peace and prosperity of their families and aim to see that their efforts are not wasted by raising us as individuals who are devoted to their country, nation and spiritual values. Our greatest responsibility is to fulfill this wish of theirs and make them proud.

Always remembering that we will be able to better understand what our fathers have done and thought for us when we reach old age, the greatest gift we can give to our fathers is to visit them every day, not only on special days, and to please their hearts and make them happy, with the attention they expect from us.

I celebrate the “Father’s Day” of all fathers, especially the fathers of our dear martyrs and heroic veterans who gave us confidence at every moment of our lives and who gave their lives for the country, and I remember with mercy all the fathers who have passed away.
