Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır met with the Turkish-American diaspora in Orlando under the leadership of the Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC). This special gathering gained even greater significance as it coincided with a historic milestone in Turkey’s space exploration efforts. The commencement of Türkiye’s first manned space mission, featuring our nation’s first astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı, was a moment of immense pride for the Turkish diaspora. During this impactful meeting, Minister Kacır engaged with community members, listened to their concerns, and shared strategic solutions to strengthen their presence and contributions. This historic event reaffirmed the commitment to fostering unity and collaboration within the Turkish-American community. As TASC, we remain dedicated to amplifying the voice of the Turkish diaspora and continuing our mission to build stronger connections for a shared future.
