The institution of the village headman, one of the cornerstones of our democracy, has maintained its role as the closest point of contact between the state and its citizens for centuries.

Serving as a bridge between our citizens and the state, our village heads are an indispensable part of our local governance system, thanks to their dedication, sincerity, and sense of responsibility in carrying out their duties.

The diligent efforts undertaken by our villages and neighborhoods to develop their communities and improve the quality of life for our people constitute the strength of our public administration on the ground.

With these feelings and thoughts, I celebrate the October 19th Village Headmen’s Day of all our village headmen who carry out their duties with great dedication; I pray for mercy for our village headmen who have passed away, and I wish health, happiness and success to our village headmen who are currently in office.

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.
