Eid Messages from the Mayors of Konya

The Mayor of Konya Metropolitan Municipality Uğur İbrahim Altay, the Mayor of Meram Municipality Mustafa Kavuş, the Mayor of Selçuklu Municipality Ahmet Pekyatırmacı, and the Mayor of Karatay Municipality Hasan Kılca wished the people of Konya a happy Eid al-Fitr.


Mayor Altay said, "We are experiencing both the sorrow of leaving behind the blessed month of Ramadan and the joy of reaching the blessed Eid al-Fitr. I thank Almighty Allah for granting us health and well-being to celebrate the holiday. During these blessed days, our greatest wish is for the unity of our nation to grow even stronger and for the love and brotherhood among us to continue to increase."


Mayor Pekyatırmacı said, "Dear fellow citizens, I greet you with love, respect, and affection, and I sincerely congratulate you on the blessed Eid al-Fitr. We thank our Lord who has granted us health and well-being to celebrate this holiday. Throughout the month of Ramadan, through our fasting, prayers, and acts of charity and solidarity, a deep sense of peace has settled in our hearts. Now, it is time to share that peace with our loved ones, neighbors, and all of humanity. Holidays are special days when we build bridges from heart to heart, leaving grievances behind and embracing one another more tightly. Let us make the most of these special days when our hearts unite and beautiful emotions are shared. Let us come together with our elders, relatives, and loved ones. Let us not forget our elders, the sick, and the lonely. May we live the spiritual atmosphere of the holiday together by receiving their good prayers, Inshallah."


Mayor Hasan Kılca said, "In the blessed month of Ramadan, when help, love, and brotherhood are most deeply felt, we met with our fellow citizens at iftar tables, stood side by side in Taraweeh prayers, and experienced the spiritual atmosphere together. To make the most of the opportunities presented by this blessed month, we visited all corners of our district and worked to bring the joy of Ramadan to our children and citizens through the programs we organized. Now, we are celebrating the beauty that Ramadan has brought us with the joy of Eid."


Mayor of Meram Mustafa Kavuş said, "We lived the month of Ramadan, the month of the Qur'an, fully with fasting, iftar, suhoor, Taraweeh prayers, Quran recitations, and mukabele. We once again practiced brotherhood, unity, compassion, and patience. Today, we are experiencing the sorrow of leaving behind the blessed month of fasting, which once again brought us happiness and beauty, and the joy of reaching another Eid, together with our loved ones, in health and well-being."
