Capital of Pakistan,Islamabad gets its share from the tension in the country. Benazir Bhutto continues her unannounced trips while decreasing their frequency. Head of State Pervez Musharraf is silent..Sometimes silence is not the best thing in tense situations.

During such days, we had the honor of meeting Ambassador Engin Soysal and his gracious wife, Tulay Sosyal. We realized that our Ambassador and his staff have enshrined the hearts of many diplomats serving inPakistan.

The concert organization with the performance of our world renowned pianist Gulsin Onay that was organized by our art enthusiast Ambassador Engin Soysal, will remain as an ‘unforgettable memory’ in the minds of hundreds of diplomats and guests. And the Republic Day reception was absolutely spectacular with approximately 1000 guests.

The entire embassy staff was cheerful..They were doing their jobs from their hearts..You could feel it. That’s why we call them our ‘voluntary heroes’. They are individuals that representTurkeyinPakistan, that you don’t know, but that we know closely.
