In his speech, Ambassador Akçapar stated "The welcoming of the Sephardic Jews by the Ottoman Empire is only one of the messages we are conveying to the world. When you look at it, Turkish history is full of stories like this. This year we have started to tell this story in Spain, where the story had started. We are not only commemorating the 530th anniversary here, at the same time we are putting forth 'humanity' which is a fundamental quality of the Turkish nation."
