Our foundation traditionally holds an organization for the presentation of sacrificial animals to the relatives of martyrs and veterans every year. This year, it was held in Arnavutköy on the occasion of the Eid al-Adha.
The program, held in Atatürk Neighborhood, was attended by the relatives of martyrs and veterans.
In a speech here, the Acting President of our Foundation, İsmet Erdoğan, stated that they continue the tradition of presenting sacrificial animals that they started last year.
Erdoğan said, “We want to show that we are always by the side of our veterans and the families of martyrs not just in words but also in deeds. Within the framework of national and spiritual values, we want to make this activity a tradition every year during Eid al-Adha, showing that we can be there for them in times of need.”
Erdoğan emphasized that he finds this event meaningful in terms of making the relatives of martyrs and veterans feel valued and understand that they are cared for.
Gökhan Akpınar, a relative of a martyr, stated, “I lost my family in the Başbağlar Massacre; I am the son of a martyr. I thank our foundation for organizing this event. We felt that we are cared for and valued, and we are grateful for that. I wish all our veterans and the relatives of martyrs a happy Eid al-Adha. I hope this holiday brings goodness and peace to all of us.”
Later in the program, sacrificial animals were presented to the families of martyrs and veterans.
