Hıdırellez Celebration Message from Asfa Holding Board Chairman Asaf Atasoy

Asfa Holding Board Chairman, Philanthropist and Businessman Asaf Atasoy, published a Celebration message on the occasion of Hıdırellez Holiday.

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

Hıdırellez Festival is one of our most beautiful and meaningful traditions, celebrated with joy and enthusiasm in our country as well as in the Turkish World, due to the arrival of spring and the revival of nature after the cold winter days.

Hıdırellez, which our beloved nation living in harmony with nature has been celebrating for centuries in order to strengthen friendship and brotherhood, is a means for our citizens to come together and increase our social peace.

Just like Nevruz, Hıdırellez, which is celebrated by different cultures regardless of language, religion and race, and is based on the understanding of tolerance and cooperation, is among our traditions that can contribute to world peace.

This deep-rooted tradition, which dates back to Mesopotamia and Central Asia, is one of our most important cultural heritages that must be preserved and passed on to future generations without losing its essence.

I think that peace and tranquility in the world will be much better as long as there is tolerance between civilizations and cultures. I wish that the Hıdırellez Festival, which strengthens friendship and brotherhood and reminds us of the love of nature, will bring health, happiness, peace, profit and luck to all my fellow citizens. I offer my love and respect.

Abdullah Yigit-Istanbul
