Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.
Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;
We are experiencing the joy and excitement of reaching another Eid al-Adha. I hope that this blessed Eid al-Adha will bring goodness, blessings, and peace to all our citizens and the Islamic world, and that it will be a means for peace among humanity.
Holidays are not only days for fulfilling our religious duties, but also days of solidarity, mutual assistance, and sharing. They strengthen love, respect, and brotherhood among people, reinforcing unity and togetherness, and hold an indispensable place in our social and cultural life. Therefore, holidays are among the most important building blocks that hold our society together.
We should view these festive days, when hopes blossom, goodness flourishes, and solidarity and mutual assistance increase, as an opportunity to strengthen our spirit of solidarity and our bonds of brotherhood. Besides enriching and brightening our lives, holidays are important occasions for people to draw closer, to unite, for the bonds of brotherhood and friendship to be revived, and for our unity to be further strengthened.
During these blessed days, we remember our martyrs and veterans with gratitude. As an expression of these feelings of gratitude and appreciation, I believe it is a requirement of human values to visit the families of martyrs, our veterans, as well as our elderly without families, our disabled citizens, and the children living in children’s homes, and to bring them joy.
I wish our citizens, and especially our drivers, to abide by traffic rules more than ever, to avoid traffic violations such as speeding and tailgating, to refrain from driving while sleepless or tired, and to spend accident-free, healthy, and happy holidays with their loved ones, being aware that every traffic rule is worth at least one life.
With these feelings and thoughts, and with the hope that our blessed Eid al-Adha will bring peace and tranquility to our country and the world, I sincerely congratulate my fellow citizens of Erzurum and Istanbul on Eid al-Adha, and offer my greetings, love and respect, with wishes for health and happiness.”
