“Dear compatriots,
Dear colleagues of the Human Rights Defender’s Office,
I extend my congratulations on the occasion of the New Year, wishing you peace, a rights-based and values-based environment, and confidence in your own capacities and in the future.
The 2025 was marked by numerous challenges, as well as achievements, during which the mission of protecting and promoting human rights was carried out by our staff with great dedication and principled commitment. In this context, I would like to express my special gratitude to the staff of the Human Rights Defender’s Office for their unwavering dedication, professional responsibility, and commitment to the protection of human rights.
Our institution will continue its activities based on the principles of the rule of law, the inviolability of human dignity, and equality. Our efforts will be directed not only toward responding to problems, but also toward preventing systemic problems and strengthening institutional capacities.
We must strengthen the understanding that the protection of human rights is a continuous process requiring joint efforts, solidarity, public responsibility, and the values of justice and equality are the pillars upon which a stable, democratic, and human-centered society is formed.
I wish that the coming year will be a year of new opportunities, peaceful coexistence, solidarity, value-based progress and mutual respect, for the sake of the full realization of human rights and social well-being.
May these New Year days fill your homes and hearts with warmth, and may love, humanity, and unity remain constant companions of our society.”
