Dear Prof Dr Büyükerşen,

As the sun sets on your tenure as Mayor of Eskişehir, our hearts are heavy with bittersweet feelings. for two decades, you were the cornerstone of our city, the architect of its transformation, and the guardian of its dreams. Today, as we bid farewell to your exceptional leadership, we are overwhelmed with gratitude, admiration, and a deep sense of loss.

Your journey with us has been nothing short of miraculous. From the dusty streets of days gone by to the vibrant, bustling city we proudly call home today, every brick, every tree, every smile bears the marks of your vision, commitment, and love for Eskişehir. Through your unwavering commitment and tireless efforts, you have turned dreams into reality, challenges into triumphs, and obstacles into opportunities.

But beyond the accolades and achievements lies a deeper truth – the profound impact you have had on the lives of each and every one of us. You were more than a leader; you were a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration, and a pillar of strength. In moments of uncertainty you gave us courage, in times of despair you gave us hope and in our darkest hours you stood by our side, an unwavering symbol of resilience and determination.

As we look to the future, we take comfort in knowing that your legacy will live on – not only in the monuments and milestones that bear your name, but also in the hearts and minds of all the citizens whose lives you have touched. Your spirit, wisdom and unwavering belief in the potential of our city will continue to guide, inspire and drive us forward.

And as you pass the torch to your esteemed protégé, Mrs Ayşe Ünlüce, we do so with a mixture of sadness and hope. For although we will miss your presence greatly, we take comfort in the knowledge that your legacy is in safe hands – hands that have been moulded by your wisdom, nurtured by your guidance and inspired by your example.

We bid you farewell with a heart full of gratitude, with tears in our eyes and with a soul overflowing with love.
