in Istanbul, who lack medical insurance and have limited financial
means, to access high-quality medical care.

specialists provided examinations and services to the children in
the fields of pediatrics, otolaryngology (ENT), dentistry,
ophthalmology, and speech therapy. A mobile laboratory was also set
up at the venue, organized and supported by the Chairman of the
Association of Young Azerbaijanis, Sanan Guliyev.

Young Azerbaijanis, Sanan Guliyev, Aydin Hasanoghlu, Director of
the "Aygun" Private Personal Development Course, an educational
institution in Istanbul named after National Hero Mubariz

of the project, highlighting the importance of ensuring that
children from low-income families have access to medical
services.
The speakers noted that this initiative, carried out on the
occasion of Victory Day, serves as a manifestation of the attention
and care shown to Azerbaijanis living abroad, as well as the
Azerbaijan-Türkiye brotherhood within the humanitarian sphere.
During the speeches, gratitude was expressed to the doctors who
participated in the project on a voluntary basis, the State
Committee on Work with the Diaspora, TADEF, the Association of
Young Azerbaijanis, and everyone who provided organizational
support. Furthermore, appreciation was extended to Khaladdin

providing vitamin complexes for the children.
In addition to members of the Association of All Azerbaijani
Doctors, Azerbaijani physicians working at various medical
institutions across Türkiye also participated in the project as
volunteers.
This social-medical initiative has once again confirmed that the
Azerbaijan-Türkiye brotherhood is not limited solely to the
political and cultural realms, but also extends to humanitarian
cooperation, social responsibility, and the provision of practical
support to Azerbaijanis living abroad. The project organized on the
occasion of Victory Day is of significant importance in terms of
supporting Azerbaijani families living abroad, strengthening
diaspora solidarity, and safeguarding a healthy future for
children.
