Unfortunately, the committee has decided not to proceed with the proposed tour to Gaziantep in September 2025, due to a lack of sufficient interest.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to those members who responded positively to the proposal, as well as to those who provided valuable feedback. Your input has been greatly appreciated and carefully considered.

In light of the comments received, we are now researching an alternative tour in Turkey, which we are planning for November 2025. Further details will be shared with members shortly.

Thank you for your continued support.
