Atatürk University Rector Prof. Dr. Ömer Çomaklı published a message in consideration of 21st March- Newroz Festival:
''Nevruz, one of the symbols of our unity, togetherness and brotherhood, and celebrated as a spring festival on a very wide geographical scale from the Balkans to Central Asia, gives good news of renewal, abundance and fruitfulness. I wish Newroz Festival, that is recorded as the coming of spring in the Kaşgarlı Mahmut’s Divân-ı Lügat’it- Türk and that symbolizes the revival of new hopes along with the resurrection of nature, would conduce toward stiffening of the feelings of peace, friendship, fraternity and solidarity in our country and in the world and I would like to observe Newroz Festival of yours.''
