“Together with our Ambassador, we met with members of the Western Thrace Minority University Graduates Association (WTMUGA) Young Academics Community (GAT) Athens Branch at an iftar dinner.”

The event reflects ongoing efforts by Turkish diplomatic missions in Greece to maintain close contact with civil society organizations and young professionals, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

Diplomatic and Community Engagement

Ambassador Erciyes’ participation underscores the importance Ankara places on outreach initiatives with Western Thrace minority groups and academic networks in Greece.

Such gatherings serve as platforms for strengthening social cohesion, professional networking, and bilateral people-to-people connections during Ramadan.
