Our muhtars, who hold an important place in our social life, who lead the way in ensuring that the needs and demands of our citizens are met by the relevant institutions, and who are the public officials closest to our people, are also indispensable and powerful representatives of our democracy.

Our muhtars, who closely monitor the on-site determination and resolution of all demands of our citizens, including their most basic needs, in the neighborhoods where they work, are fulfilling a duty that requires sacrifice and responsibility.

Our mukhtars, who constitute the most important link in the integration of the State and the Nation, who represent all institutions of our state in the neighborhoods where they work, who come to power through elections and form the basis of our democracy, are our valuable representatives who identify the demands, problems and expectations of our people on-site and take the necessary steps to find solutions.

With the approval of our President, the institution of muhtarship has become an important cornerstone of our democracy and the diligent work of our muhtars has been appreciated.

I congratulate all our muhtars, who work selflessly to deliver public services to our people in our province effectively and quickly, for their devoted work. I celebrate “October 19th Mukhtars’ Day” and offer my respect and love.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors, Philanthropist and Businessman Asaf ATASOY, published a message on the occasion of October 19th Mukhtars’ Day.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors Asaf ATASOY included the following statements in his message;

Our mukhtars, who are one of the cornerstones of our democracy in our country and the closest point of contact between our state and our citizens, are the representatives of our state, our neighborhoods and our villages in the duties they perform.

Our mukhtars assume important duties in their neighborhoods or villages and act as a bridge between our citizens and state institutions. The mukhtar organization, which is one of the institutions that renew itself today, has always been at the service of our citizens by carrying the modern, innovative public administration approach to even the most remote settlements.

As an indication of the importance given to our mukhtars, very important studies have been carried out in recent years to determine the needs of the mukhtar institution, the problems they face and the solution proposals for these problems, and the vision for the future by preserving the historical ties of this institution, and October 19 has been declared as Mukhtars Day.

With these feelings and thoughts; I congratulate our mukhtars, who carry out a very important duty between our state and our citizens, on the “October 19 Mukhtars’ Day”, thank them for their successful work, and wish God’s mercy upon our deceased mukhtars and health and successful duties for those on duty.
