Ömer Aras's Message

In his speech at the tournament, QNB Turkey Chairman Ömer Aras stated, “Today is a meaningful day for all of us. We gathered not only for a tournament on the courts but also to honor those who have passed away, support women who are fighting, and raise awareness on this issue. I remember Elif Yavaş and those we have lost with mercy. This tournament was the idea of the precious Elif, and we have been carrying on this legacy for four years. As emphasized by the World Health Organization, early detection in breast cancer saves lives. We at QNB Turkey place great importance on spreading this awareness. This tournament serves as an important platform of solidarity to show that we stand by women and families.”
