Dear Mr. Samsar:

We would like to express our condolences upon the occasion of the death of Former Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, we were saddened to hear about his passing.

Prime Minister Ecevit was a leader that the Turkish Jewish community respected very much over the many years he was in office. May he be remembered with great reverence.

Sincerly yours,

Shelomo Alfassa
Executive Director
