Stating that Dr. Sadık Ahmet led and benefited the society in every period of his life, Eren said, "I/we support this struggle both as a native Western Thracian and as the president of the institution established by our state for our cognates and related communities. It is very important for us to keep Dr Sadık Ahmet's name alive here."

Stating that many places in Turkey are named after Dr Sadık Ahmet, Eren said, "The fact that many places are named after him is an important work done in order to pay the debt of loyalty. Having such a hall in YTB was a very important and meaningful memory."
