Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a congratulatory message for the 2026-2027 Judicial Year, wishing success to judicial employees.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

Throughout history, our nation, which has built states with the aim of establishing rights and justice, founded the Republic of Türkiye with the understanding that justice is the most natural right of all its citizens.

Our justice system, which never tires of upholding the rights of all our citizens, fulfills an extremely important duty for the peace and prosperity of our nation with its dedicated members.

Our judicial officers, guided by the profound statement of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, “Independence, future, freedom—everything exists with justice,” are the guarantors of the principle of the rule of law.

We firmly believe that the scales of justice will never falter, and that our lawyers, who have emerged from the heart of our nation and possess pure consciences, will ensure the unity, harmony, peace, and brotherhood of our beloved nation forever.

On this occasion, I congratulate our independent judicial officers, lawyers, and all judicial personnel who uncompromisingly fulfill their duties for the sake of justice and the rule of law, on the new judicial year.

I commemorate with respect all our judicial officers and justice system employees who lost their lives in the line of duty.

I hope that our new judicial year will be beneficial to our country, our citizens, our judiciary, and the legal community.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of Mevlid Kandili (the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday).

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

We are experiencing the spiritual peace of reaching Mawlid Kandili, the night commemorating the birth of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was sent as a mercy to all creation. This exceptional night is a precious opportunity to purify our hearts, to remember the purpose of our creation, and to reflect on the lofty values ​​that guide humanity.

Mawlid al-Nabi (the Prophet’s birthday) is a meaningful period that, in addition to recalling his exemplary life and hadiths (sayings), provides an opportunity to understand the boundless tolerance, compassion, noble character, and guiding counsel of the messenger of mercy who conveyed Islam to humanity.

We should make the most of this blessed night, which is a means for believers to attain blessings, forgiveness, and mercy, by engaging in prayer and worship, and striving to understand the messages conveyed to us by our Prophet (peace be upon him) through his Sunnah and exemplary life, and to reflect these messages in our lives.

May this blessed night be a means of strengthening our unity and solidarity, our peace and brotherhood; may the oppression and conflicts in different parts of the world, especially in Palestine, come to an end as soon as possible, and may the oppressed find peace and security. I pray to Almighty God for this and I congratulate our fellow citizens of Erzurum and Istanbul, our beloved nation, and the entire Islamic world on the occasion of Mawlid Kandil.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of the 955th anniversary of the Battle of Malazgirt.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

It’s August, and the day is Friday.

Before sunrise to the land of Rum

The Grey Wolves army launched an attack.

The heavens thundered with renewed fervor.

Oh God… In the name of God… God is Great…

955 years ago today, the Turkish army, led by Sultan Alparslan, who had sworn to save his homeland and was prepared to become a martyr, defeated the Byzantine army, which was four times larger than its own, thus opening the gates of Anatolia wide to the Turkish nation and making it an eternal homeland.

Sultan Alparslan’s victory at Malazgirt, which made Anatolia the homeland, was far more than just a military success. This victory was not only a battle won against a vastly larger Byzantine army, but also the first step on the road to the founding of the Republic of Turkey.

Sultan Alparslan, the great Seljuk ruler, demonstrated his determination and resolve with these words to his soldiers as he began the Battle of Manzikert: “My soldiers! If I become a martyr, let this white garment be my shroud. Then my soul will ascend to the heavens.” Sultan Alparslan, whose just and merciful rule served as an example for subsequent statesmen, also pioneered an understanding based on peace, tolerance, and love in the Anatolian lands.

We are the descendants of Sultan Alparslan, who faced a Byzantine army of two hundred thousand at Malazgirt and bestowed this victory upon us. The Victory of Malazgirt, a symbol of Turkishness, faith, reason, and strength, remains vibrant in the heart of our nation even after centuries. As we carry our Republic towards brighter tomorrows, the strength we derive from our past will always guide us.

I commemorate with mercy and gratitude all our martyrs who drank the cup of martyrdom for the unity, solidarity, independence, future, and indivisible integrity of the Turkish nation; our veterans; and our ancestors who preserved and glorified our state tradition, from Sultan Alparslan to Osman Gazi, from Fatih to Atatürk. I celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Malazgirt, and I wish for our beloved nation to live in unity and solidarity, free and independent forever. I greet my esteemed fellow citizens with respect and affection.

Happy Victory Day!

May our homeland endure forever.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of the July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

“Two years have passed since the treacherous coup attempt by the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization, which aimed to undermine the unity and solidarity of our beloved nation and targeted the national will, the Republic of Turkey, and its government.”

On July 15th, our heroic people, fighting for their homeland, democracy, and independence, once again declared to the whole world, with the same determination as centuries ago, that protecting their land and glorious history is the sole element of their future.

That night, our heroic nation, united as one—men, women, young and old—filled the streets and squares at the call of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. They confronted tanks, cannons, planes, helicopters, and rifles with nothing but their faith and belief, risking their lives, and for days they remained in the squares, defending democracy.

As a manifestation of profound awareness, our noble nation, which without hesitation took to the streets to defend the indivisible unity and future of the country against the treacherous coup plotters and declared, “I have a heart bigger than tanks,” has set an unparalleled example for future generations.

From the very first moments of the July 15 coup attempt, our fellow citizens from Erzurum and Istanbul, who clearly and unequivocally took a stand in favor of national will and democracy, resolutely defended their homeland, nation, and flag with their vigil for democracy. Because we believe in the power of unity, and we know that our hearts have beaten with the same feelings for this homeland for centuries.

“With these feelings and thoughts, on the 10th anniversary of the July 15 Martyrs Commemoration, Democracy and National Unity Day, I pray to God for mercy for our July 15 martyrs who fought for our independence and democracy, and for all the martyrs throughout history who sacrificed their lives for our common sacred values. I remember our veterans with gratitude and appreciation, and I offer my deepest respects.”

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

The most important element that defines us as a nation is our strong family structure, based on superior values ​​such as love, respect, tolerance, and solidarity. Our fathers, seen as the cornerstone of the family institution, play a decisive role in protecting our family values ​​and in passing on vital and indispensable values ​​such as justice, sharing, responsibility, love, respect, and authority from generation to generation.

Fathers, who fulfill their duties and responsibilities within the family with great devotion, who give their love and affection unconditionally, who spare no sacrifice for the happiness of the family, and who honor us with their presence in every moment of our lives, strive with all their might to prepare their children’s future securely.

The greatest gift we can give to our fathers, who consider the happiness of their family members their own happiness, who always guide us with their experience, and who have countless rights and contributions to our lives, is love and respect. Their children’s success is their joy, and their sorrow is their grief.

Our fathers, who stand behind us like a mighty oak tree at every moment of our lives and set an example for us with their dignified demeanor, deserve to be cherished not just on this special day, but throughout our lives. We must make them feel that they are our most precious possessions at every moment of their lives.

With these feelings and thoughts, I celebrate Father’s Day for all fathers, especially the fathers of our martyrs who sacrificed their precious children for our country, who form the backbone of family and social life and bind all family members together with a bond of trust. I wish them health, happiness, and many long years with their families, and I offer my love and respect.
