We Remember Süleyman Demirel

It has been 10 years since Süleyman Demirel, the 9th President of the Republic of Turkey, passed away. We remember him with respect and mercy. Süleyman Demirel was one of the key contributors to the establishment of the Marmara Group Foundation and the formation of the Eurasian Economic Summits. This past May, during the 28th Eurasian Economic Summit, we honored his legacy by presenting an award in his name. The Democracy Award in memory of Süleyman Demirel was presented by Istanbul MP İlhan Kesici, on behalf of the family, to Romanian President Emil Constantinescu. In return, Emil Constantinescu presented his book about Süleyman Demirel, written in Romanian, to İlhan Kesici. On the 10th anniversary of his passing, as the Marmara Group Foundation, we take pride in keeping Süleyman Demirel’s memory alive and pray for God's mercy upon him.
