I encourage you to utilize this short break to both relax and have fun while also improving yourself and acquiring new knowledge. This holiday period will be a great opportunity to discover new hobbies, get to know yourselves and increase your knowledge. Remember that meaningful moments spent with books, art, sports, and your families will contribute to your personal development,” Çavuşoğlu said in his message.
