Our Tradition

“Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, idolater.
You who love separation.
It doesn’t matter.
This is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your oath a thousand times.
Come, come, yet again come.”

Mevlana Rumi

At that time, values such as justice, tolerance, faith, hospitality, patience, generosity, courage, and loyalty were not only the guiding principles of the Ottoman Empire but also the honor and responsibility of every sincere citizen.
