And last but not least, Özgür Dinçsalman, a “brave” Turkish citizen, marked the 100th anniversary of our Republic by running 100 kilometres in Dubai!
He began his preparations months in advance, inspired not only by his deep love for his homeland, but also by the support of a group of friends, as well as the Turkish Business Council Dubai and the Dubai Consulate. He jogged roughly 1200 kilometres in four months to prepare for this momentous occasion.
The long-awaited day has finally arrived! On the evening of October 28th, he was bid farewell in front of our Consulate by his family, friends, and Dubai Consul General H.E. Onur Şaylan.
After a gruelling 15-hour run, he completed his 100 km race on the morning of October 29th, shedding tears of pride for fulfilling his mission. At the residence of the Dubai Consulate, he was warmly welcomed by Dubai Consul General H.E.
