Happy May 19th Atatürk Commemoration and Youth and Sports Day! President of Marmara Group Foundation Dr. Akkan Suver issued a message on the occasion of Youth and Sports Day: "-May 19th is the starting date of the Republic of Turkey. It would be incomplete to consider Atatürk's arrival in Samsun only as the beginning of the War of Independence. May 19th is the date when the foundations of a free and independent Republic of Turkey were laid. The fact that this day is dedicated to youth signifies that the Republic of Turkey will remain forever young and alive. Happy Youth Day!"

For 29 years, we have brought together politicians, academics, businesspeople, faith leaders, and representatives of civil society organizations who have taken on significant roles in their countries. This year’s summit will be an important platform for understanding shifting global power balances and for building a vision of a more just future. At the summit, we will place special emphasis not only on wars and regional conflicts, but also on the role of women in peace and diplomacy processes. We will address energy geopolitics, global economic vulnerabilities, security architecture, the resilience of democratic institutions, the transformation of the European Union, and Türkiye’s position in this process from a multidimensional perspective. The rapid depletion of water and green resources will also be one of the main themes of the summit. We will discuss concrete proposals and infrastructure solutions regarding this issue, which has become a global threat with not only environmental but also economic, social, and humanitarian dimensions." The press conference was also attended by Cafer Okray, Lale Aytanç Nalbant, Elif Arıkan Can, Mahmut Saklı, Prof. Dr. Özgür Çengel, and Sevil Kulak from the Marmara Group Foundation.
