20th Rumi commemoration

The 20th RUMI COMMEMORATION PROGRAMME (the 749th anniversary of his reunion with the Divine), which we organised jointly by KONFED, KONVAK and the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, filled the 1,200-seat Ahmet Adnan Saygun hall to overflowing. My endless thanks go first to Mayor Tunç Soyer and his team, to the boards of our Federation and Foundation, to all the wonderful people who answered our invitation and filled the hall, and to everyone who contributed.
