President Erdoğan: From the past to the present, our august nation has been known for its exceptional virtues based on charity, mercy, compassion, and solidarity. Our Turkish Red Crescent, which has been operating on a 'volunteerism' basis since its inception, has also helped heal countless scars standing by those in need in our country and around the world.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a message to the Turkish Red Crescent's "Türkiye Volunteerism Awards" ceremony held at the Haliç Congress Centre on December 5, International Volunteer Day.
In his message, President Erdoğan said:
"From the past to the present, our august nation has been known for its exceptional virtues based on charity, mercy, compassion, and solidarity. Our Turkish Red Crescent, which has been operating on a 'volunteerism' basis since its inception, has also helped heal countless scars standing by those in need in our country and around the world. I believe that the Türkiye Volunteerism Awards event, which will take place on December 5, International Volunteer Day, will inspire all members of our society, particularly our youth, to compete in acts of kindness and volunteering. I congratulate our volunteers who have received Türkiye Volunteerism Awards, and I express my heartfelt gratitude to the employees, volunteers, and supporters of our 'crescent of kindness,' the Turkish Red Crescent."
