Istanbul
FNF has been actively working in Turkey with partners from civil society, academia, economy and politics since 1991, when we opened our office in Ankara. In 2002, we moved to Istanbul. Turkey is of crucial importance for Germany, Europe and the transatlantic cooperation due to its history, culture, economy, and geographical location. Therefore, FNF offers support to liberal-minded citizens and organizations in Turkey to promote liberal values in the society. This way, we strive to contribute to a liberal, democratic and prospering Turkey for all citizens.

Bugün bizim doğum günümüz 🎉. "Demokrasi ve özgürlük sözcükleri yalnızca birkaç sözcük değil; hayat yönlendiren değerlerdir." Eski Alman Federal Cumhurbşkanı ve Özgürlük için Friedrich Naumann Vakfı'nın kurucusu Theodor Heuss (1884-1963)'ün bu sözü bugüne kadar vakfımızın çalışmalarına yön verdi. İyi ki doğdun @FNF!
