TESTIMONIES

Engin Arik was literally a radiating woman, both on a personal and professional level.

Berkol Dogan was famous for the warmth of his smile and personality. I honestly can't remember a single time when he wasn't laughing or cracking a joke.

I was always impressed with Engin Abat's enthusiasm to help and his genuine interest to learn as much as he could.
