Under the leadership of President Ivanov, during a special panel organized in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye, we, along with other distinguished speakers, celebrated Türkiye's centenary with great enthusiasm. The panel included Mehmet Bayrak, the Director of TIKA Macedonia, Prof. Ali Fethi Okyar, the grandson of Ali Fethi Okyar, a close friend of Atatürk and a native of Macedonia, and a speech delivered on behalf of Dr. Akkan Suver, the visionary President of the Marmara Group Foundation, by myself. After the intensive education, my dear friend Ege Yiğitel, a member of the Marmara Group Foundation Board of Trustees, and I proudly received our diplomas from President Gjorge Ivanov, which marked the seal of our leadership journey. In Skopje, we also had the opportunity to meet with Hasan Mehmet Sekizkök, the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Skopje, where we shared this unique experience and our foundation's mission with them. This enriching 8-day experience not only provided us with the opportunity to get to know North Macedonia's history and culture better but also allowed us to broaden our vision for the future through the deep friendships and partnerships established on the international stage."
