If it weren't for my Roman brothers, we wouldn't have known about them and we would have left this life without learning any of them. So, my beautiful brothers, I am glad to have you. You are the most beautiful colors of Izmir. I know that many of my Romani brothers cannot exercise their most basic rights on an equal basis with other citizens or face obstacles. It lacks access to the most basic services in the fields of education, employment, housing, health and social services. Don't worry brothers.

Thanks to this center, we will track that light and make it spread everywhere. Hüsnü Şençiler is also with us today. I make a promise every April 8th. Our promise last year was this building.
