But the rules stretched by vaccination have led people to be a little more together. We wanted to come together with our fellow countrymen by following the rules and warning our members sensitively for days. We conveyed our event conditions to our guests for days. And we took our guests to the hall with a strict control at the entrance of the hall. Although we turned down many requests due to the pandemic conditions, we did not victimize the guests who came to the door. And we embraced all our compatriots. This participation made us infinitely happy. Our Mayor of Alaşehir, Ahmet Öküzcüoğlu, did not leave us alone in İzmir in this beautiful night with food, music, poetry and tango. We have already realized this night with the support and participation of our Alaşehir municipality. We would like to thank Mr. President for his support. Manisa, Alaşehir and İzmir are not considered as expatriates, but if you live in another city, they are considered expatriate because you are outside the land where you were born. We thought of coming together to make our association and our fellow citizens feel that they are never alone and to be in solidarity like a family. And we will carry out our activities to ensure a permanent connection with Alaşehir and our village of Kemaliye. We have many activity projects related to farming, education, women, children and art, and we will implement them. In this sense, we will always be in contact with our Alaşehir Municipality and the district municipalities in İzmir.”
