Uncle Mustafa Kemal talked about his love of reading with the following words: "I have loved reading since my childhood. I had to drop out of school in secondary school. My father was ill, he owned a shop. When he got ill, I left school and stood in charge of the shop, I could not read. But my interest in books and reading never diminished. I would read everything I found. I lost my wife 4 months ago. Since then, I have become even more fond of books. After his death, I felt like I took refuge in books... I spend most of my time in the library, reading books. In my spare time, at home, in the library, If the weather is nice, I read my book in the park and improve myself. I advise young people to read books in the library, learn new information and discover new worlds. I also encouraged my daughter and grandchild to read and started a reading campaign within the family. I finish the book I bought from the library before the deadline, and people around me see me and follow my example. “I RECOMMEND YOUNG PEOPLE TO READ THE BOOK” Stating that books opened the door to brand new worlds for him, Hamamönü said, "I learn a lot through books... After I started reading books, I have a little more knowledge. I learn about the Middle East and Africa. By reading books, I learn about places I have not been to, it feels like I have gone there. I know a little about Türkiye, but I also gain new information by reading many books about foreign countries." Hamamönü advised young people to read books and learn new information in the library instead of sitting in cafes. “I CONGRATULATE OUR UNCLE MUSTAFA” Altındağ Mayor Dr. congratulated Altındağ's bookworm Uncle Mustafa Kemal for his reading habit.
