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

Our muhtars, who hold an important place in our social life, who lead the way in ensuring that the needs and demands of our citizens are met by the relevant institutions, and who are the public officials closest to our people, are also indispensable and powerful representatives of our democracy.

Our muhtars, who closely monitor the on-site determination and resolution of all demands of our citizens, including their most basic needs, in the neighborhoods where they work, are fulfilling a duty that requires sacrifice and responsibility.

Our mukhtars, who constitute the most important link in the integration of the State and the Nation, who represent all institutions of our state in the neighborhoods where they work, who come to power through elections and form the basis of our democracy, are our valuable representatives who identify the demands, problems and expectations of our people on-site and take the necessary steps to find solutions.

With the approval of our President, the institution of muhtarship has become an important cornerstone of our democracy and the diligent work of our muhtars has been appreciated.

I congratulate all our muhtars, who work selflessly to deliver public services to our people in our province effectively and quickly, for their devoted work. I celebrate “October 19th Mukhtars’ Day” and offer my respect and love.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors, Philanthropist and Businessman Asaf ATASOY, published a message on the occasion of November 25th International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors Asaf ATASOY included the following statements in his message;

Our women, who are the most important source of humanity’s existence, unfortunately do not get the value they deserve and are exposed to injustice and even violence. Violence against women is one of the most important problems of our century in our country and in the world. Violence against women also shakes the foundations of the family institution.

Since women are among the most fundamental building blocks of a society, how women are treated in that society, the rights women have, the value given to women, the sanctions to be applied in case women are subjected to violence and how women are protected are directly proportional to the level of development of that society. For a healthy society, all kinds of injustice and violence that women are exposed to must be prevented. No matter what, we are not and will not be in favor of oppressing and breaking women.

In all circumstances, women should receive the value they deserve, and there should be absolutely no excuses for this. Women should not leave their husbands for simple reasons, and they should raise their husbands with a mature attitude. If necessary, they should work and earn their own bread. All our women are our crowning glory, and everyone should see this as such.

Hoping that November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, will lead to measures that will contribute to the prevention of violence against women, the protection and development of women’s rights, the empowerment of women in social life and their equal rights, I wish for a world where all obstacles to women reaching their rightful place in society are removed.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors Asaf ATASOY included the following statements in his message;

Every year, thousands of children in Turkey and around the world are diagnosed with leukemia, and these little bodies enter a long and delicate treatment process.

Leukemia is a treatable disease. It is very important to keep the morale and motivation of children undergoing leukemia treatment high with love. Because the most basic needs of our children with leukemia are love and hope.

Children with Leukemia Week is a week in which big hearts in tiny bodies will embrace each other with love and social awareness will be raised.

I hope that the 2-8 November Children with Leukemia Week will be a means to raise awareness in our society, and I wish a speedy recovery to all our citizens who are fighting leukemia.
