While wishing dear mothers, fathers, and the beautiful people of Istanbul a happy holiday once again; I call on you to bring cookies, pastries, and desserts from your homes and share them with your neighbors without sparing your kindness.
May our abundance, friendship, and affection increase.

Everything will be very beautiful."
