“Our greatest wish is for the coming year to be one in which challenges are left behind, hope is renewed, and the spirit of solidarity and brotherhood grows even stronger.

Finike Will Continue to Grow Stronger in 2026

With its natural wealth, productive capacity, historical heritage, and cultural values, Finike will continue to strengthen and develop in every field throughout 2026. Through the projects we have implemented and will continue to implement in areas ranging from social municipal services and infrastructure to agriculture, tourism, culture, and sports, we remain committed to making Finike a more livable, stronger, and happier city.

We firmly believe that the growth of Finike contributes to the growth of Antalya, and the growth of Antalya contributes to the growth of Türkiye. Guided by this understanding, we continue our efforts with a vision of sustainable, fair, and inclusive development, considering not only today but also future generations.

I Hope the Atrocities in Gaza Will Come to an End in 2026

Our greatest wish for the new year is the end of wars around the world. In particular, I hope that the atrocities in Gaza, which have deeply wounded the conscience of humanity, and this major humanitarian tragedy in which innocent civilians have lost their lives, will come to an end in 2026. Our shared hope is for peace, justice, and human dignity to prevail throughout the world.

With these thoughts and feelings, I sincerely celebrate the New Year of all our citizens, especially the people of Finike, and wish that 2026 will be a year filled with health, peace, prosperity, and hope. I hope the new year brings blessings and good fortune to Finike, Antalya, our country, and the entire world.”
