- Paul Sherbow, WCRP New York

 

" I attended Sinan Yaman's program, "Cultivating the Turkish Leaders of Tomorrow", in Washington, DC, and was moved by his insights on Turkish culture, and how by drawing upon the strengths we possess we can help each other transform inhibitions into courage, dreams into reality, and mediocrity into excellence -- for our selves and our community. Every member of our community, particularly our youth, must experience Yaman's inspirational words of honesty, courage, and optimism."

- Gunay Evinch (Ovunc) Vice-President, ATAA Capitol Region ourselves

 
" I am very moved by Sinan Yaman's vision, honesty and grass roots courage, all of which are in short supply in our times. It is active-positive people like Sinan Yaman that assure us not all hope and promise is lost, and that we can be proud of our collective heritage and cultural treasure chests. On behalf of the Turkish American Communities across the US, I congratulate Sinan on his recently completed US Seminar Series. I was delighted to be part of this journey with four seminars in North Carolina. I hope his candle continues to burn brightly and lights up many many other candles for a long time to come. "

- Emin Pamucak - President, ATA North Carolina President, Bridge to Turkiye Fund
