* Hacı Bektaş Veli is not only our common value, but also the world’s common value with his thoughts. Hacı Bektaş is not born without the pain of history. Without understanding the pain that the world has suffered in the 13th century, we can understand neither Hacı Bektaş Veli, Mevlana, Derviş Yunus, nor Ahi Evran. He did not distinguish between men and women.

* In the 13th century, it opened its lodge to women. She carried out one of the first women’s organizations in history under the name of ‘Bacıyan-ı Rum’. On this occasion, we should also remember Mother Kadıncık with respect and mercy.

* Who made Anatolia our homeland, who taught right, law, justice, love, peace and tranquility from ages ago; I once again commemorate with mercy and gratitude all our saints, saints, guides, pirs and dervishes who strive to transform our geography into a geography of science and knowledge.

* I wish God’s mercy to all our heroes, martyrs and veterans, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and greet you all with love, respect and affection.

Anyone who wants to be a perfect human comes to this door as a servant. We are also one of them. It comes for service, and the person who serves is purified from his self, he walks away. It devotes itself to man. Ahmet Cemaleddin Çelebi, who is a very special name from Hacı Bektaş’s children, said this is exactly why he said: “One’s own deed / person finds perfection through service”.
