Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a congratulatory message for the 2026-2027 Judicial Year, wishing success to judicial employees.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

Throughout history, our nation, which has built states with the aim of establishing rights and justice, founded the Republic of Türkiye with the understanding that justice is the most natural right of all its citizens.

Our justice system, which never tires of upholding the rights of all our citizens, fulfills an extremely important duty for the peace and prosperity of our nation with its dedicated members.

Our judicial officers, guided by the profound statement of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, “Independence, future, freedom—everything exists with justice,” are the guarantors of the principle of the rule of law.

We firmly believe that the scales of justice will never falter, and that our lawyers, who have emerged from the heart of our nation and possess pure consciences, will ensure the unity, harmony, peace, and brotherhood of our beloved nation forever.

On this occasion, I congratulate our independent judicial officers, lawyers, and all judicial personnel who uncompromisingly fulfill their duties for the sake of justice and the rule of law, on the new judicial year.

I commemorate with respect all our judicial officers and justice system employees who lost their lives in the line of duty.

I hope that our new judicial year will be beneficial to our country, our citizens, our judiciary, and the legal community.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

We are observing the blessed Night of Berat, a night of mercy and forgiveness, together in peace and joy that fills our hearts.

Berat (the Night of Forgiveness) enables Muslims to attain divine grace and blessings, to live with a sense of servitude to God, to be purified from sins, to be forgiving as well as to be forgiven, and to develop a consciousness of pardoning alongside being pardoned.

The Night of Berat prepares us for the month of Ramadan, whose shadow falls upon us, by constantly reflecting on our servitude to God, drawing us closer to Him, strengthening our resolve to obey His commands and prohibitions, and illuminating our darkened hearts.

To benefit from the blessings and grace of this night, and to attain divine mercy and forgiveness, we should consider this night of pardon and salvation as an opportunity.

On the occasion of the Night of Berat, I pray to Almighty God that we may enter the month of Ramadan with hearts cleansed of all mistakes and sins, having received His forgiveness. I congratulate the Night of Berat of our dear nation and the entire Islamic world, especially my esteemed fellow citizens of Erzurum and Istanbul.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of ‘Mevlana Week’.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

“Come, come, whoever you are, come again, Our monastery is not a monastery of despair, Even if you have broken your repentance a hundred times, come again…” With these words, Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, a Sufi thinker from the 13th century, continues to illuminate our path and remains a symbol of tolerance and love today.

Mevlana is a saintly figure whose light of knowledge has shone from centuries ago to the present day, and who is certain to illuminate the world forever. What makes him remembered with mercy in this world and enriches his afterlife is his dedication to the path of truth. Hearts barren with worldly anxieties are reborn through the drops of wisdom that flow from his teachings and advice.

Mevlana was not only a great poet, a founder of a religious order, a profound Sufi, and a comprehensive scholar; he was also a man of deep spirit who built a bridge between the newly emerging cultures in Anatolia, fostering harmony and unity among different communities.

With these feelings and thoughts, I commemorate Mevlana Hazretleri with mercy and gratitude on the 752nd anniversary of his passing, and I offer my respects.
