Then, other legal processes were completed and we took over the hosting of 2017 at the organization held in Prague last weekend. Our team has successfully completed this. We declared that we will host EYOWF 2017. In this sense, the whole procedure is completed. Mr.Mehmet Sekmen, our esteemed Metropolitan Mayor, conducted great diplomacy.
