There is a process in which conferences, exhibition and similar events are organized. In 2007, when we came to this fair for the first time, we were a participant. We have been establishing our stands as an active participant for the last four years. We share our experience in DIHAD with all organizations. We attach the importance to such activities in order to both announce as well as represent the humanitarian aid activities of our country around the world.”
