Esteemed Members of the Turkish-American Society,

Dear Visitors of our Consulate General and our website,

I have assumed my duties as Consul General as August 15, 2020 at the Consulate General of the Republic of Türkiye in New York, where I had proudly served as Deputy Consul General between 2014 and 2018.

Along with my colleagues at the Consulate General, we will continue to serve our esteemed citizens same as it ever was, in the best possible way.

Our Consulate General is your home. Our doors will always be open to our citizens, kinsmen, foreigners and to friendly US citizens in our geographical area of jurisdiction, comprising the sates of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Our country has gained the appreciation of the world and set an example by showing that the Republic of Türkiye stands by its citizens all over the globe during the difficult pandemic era we have been going through. Our Consulate General will continue to fulfill our country’s responsibility of being the helping hand to our citizens, by providing any support you need in the coming days.

I have full confidence that benefiting from your deep-rooted history and experience in the US and in with unity and solidarity, we will further enhance the standing of our community.

To this end, our top priorities will be to safeguard the economic, cultural, commercial and social interests of our country and to establish new bridges between the states in our jurisdiction and beloved country.

I would like to particularly express that we highly appreciate and look forward to your suggestions and thoughts to better understand your expectations from our Consulate General and its departments and to be able to develop new goals and projects together with you.

I believe that you will not withhold your kind support, cooperation and understanding from me so that I can duly fully my duties as Consul General of New York, which I took over with great honor. I would like to express my deepest gratitude in advance thereof.

I hereby respectfully greet all our citizens in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and extend my best wishes to you all.

Kind regards,

Reyhan Özgür

Consul General
