President Ersin Tatar Extends Message of Thanks on Red Crescent Week
In honor of Red Crescent Week, celebrated between 28 October and 4 November, President Ersin Tatar has released a message expressing his gratitude towards the Turkish Red Crescent.
The Turkish Red Crescent, originally known as Hilâl-i Ahmer when it was founded in 1868 to aid wounded soldiers, has been a steadfast companion to the nation throughout times of war, peace, and natural disasters. Under the name Turkish Red Crescent Association during the Republic period, this organization has tirelessly supported humanity across the globe, without discriminating based on religion, language, or lineage. Today, it stands as one of the most prestigious and influential aid organizations worldwide, providing assistance not only within Turkey but also in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, aiding in the aftermath of natural calamities.
Reflecting the culture of love, tolerance, compassion, mercy, and solidarity that embodies Turkish society, the Turkish Red Crescent faithfully fulfills its duty to help those in need, both locally and internationally. Through its dedication to service, it has positively impacted countless lives, exemplifying the noble values of the Turkish people.
President Tatar, expressing his profound sentiments, warmly congratulates Red Crescent Week and extends his heartfelt appreciation to the Turkish Red Crescent’s charitable workers and the people they serve. His hope is for a future filled with peace and tranquility, far removed from the perils of disasters and wars.
This message stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Turkish Red Crescent and serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and compassion in creating a better world for all.
