Man establishes deep connections in the lands where he grows up. He flourishes, just like a mighty oak grows. People recognize his presence, yet he remains oblivious to his beauty. Because it is not striving to become beautiful. He naturally becomes beautiful. Indeed, Ali Fuat Atik is also a name nurtured by these lands, much like a sturdy oak. He is one of the esteemed statesmen who has been serving for years.
Atik, while in his role as Denizli’s governor, was assigned as the coordinating governor to Hatay, one of the provinces most affected by the century’s disaster, when our country experienced this catastrophe.
Governor Atik received a cancer diagnosis just a few months ago, but he opted to keep it a secret even from his closest circle and dedicated himself to the struggle in Hatay at all costs. Many times, he silently carried on with his treatment inside a container. His innate beauty and benevolence were recognized. He lifted everyone’s spirits be a credit to and brought tears to their eyes.
