Ended his 28-year tenure

After 28 Years, Fahri Yiğit Steps Down as President of the Turkish German Friendship Association

The Turkish German Friendship Association, originally founded under the name "Hür-Türk" in Alanya in 1997, held its Ordinary General Assembly the day before yesterday at the Miray Hotel. In the meeting, where long-time president Fahri Yiğit did not seek re-election, Fatma Özsüzer was elected as the new president and Zöhre Kocabeyoğlu as vice president.

Fahri Yiğit, who founded the association in 1997 and later renamed it the Turkish German Friendship Association, stepped down from his position after 28 years due to personal reasons.

Speaking about his time in office, Yiğit stated:“During my presidency, we tried to support the Germans living in our city by helping them solve personal problems, acting as a bridge with official institutions, offering translation services, and providing guidance.”

“I did not run for office again due to my personal affairs. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us so far and wish the new board great success in their work,” he concluded.
