Wishing all #ExchangeAlumni who observe Ramadan a month of peace and blessings.
İnsanların oruç tutmak, ibadet etmek ve ortak değerleri paylaşmak için bir araya geldiği mübarek Ramazan ayının başlaması dolayısıyla en içten dileklerimi sunuyorum.
Ramazan, günahtan uzak ve erdemli bir hayat sürmek için umutlanma, cesaret kazanma ve esinlenme ayıdır.

Today, I send my warmest greetings for the holy month of Ramadan—a sacred time of fasting, prayer, and communal gathering.
It is a time to draw hope, courage, and inspiration to lead lives of holiness and virtue.
