We are thrilled to announce that MD. Zakira Hekmat, the current president of ARSA Association, has been elected as the new president of the Refugee Council of Turkey (Türkiye Mülteci Konseyi). Hekmat played a pivotal role in establishing the council in 2016, alongside with 20 institutions actively engaged in refugee affairs.

For the past two terms, the council has been under the capable leadership of Metin Çorabatır. Now, in the third phase of its election, MD. Zakira Hekmat has been chosen to lead this impactful organization.

Hekmat expresses his commitment to not only continue managing and implementing significant projects within Arsa Association but also to contribute effectively to the mission of the Turkey Refugee Council. He aims to be a driving force for positive change within this dynamic institution in Turkey.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to MD. Zakira Hekmat on this well-deserved appointment!
