| "Esteemed Managers of the Group, Dear Members of the Family, In the meeting that will be held today, I believe you will make very important and appropriate contributions. With this opportunity, I would like to remind you of a belief and an advice of mine. Avoid extravagance and waste; it is forbidden by religion. This belief of mine contributes largely to the principles at the foundation of the Group. Our Group, which has grown as a result of your efforts and beliefs, has become sacred to me and will be transformed into a foundation, which will yield more benefits to our Country. I wish success in your work, with all my love." Ümmehan Elginkan 4.5.1984 |
