Dear Nejat, Haluk and Mahmut, 

On behalf of the Council and the Committee on International Peace and Security, I want to thank you for your help with our Seventh Annual SSRC-MacArthur Foundation Fellows' conference. 

I am pleased by these evaluations, but the credit must be shared among all those who attended and contributed. I am thereby writing to thank you for all your help in making our conference logistically smooth. 

Again, thank you for all your help. 

Dear Haluk and Berna, 

I would like to formally thank you for the excellent support you gave at the recent Fundraising Forum meeting in the Dedeman hotel. 

This was the largest meeting we in Fundraising have ever organized with 275 participants and by all accounts the most appreciated. Certainly from our perspective, we can say that it was a big success and this is largely thanks to excellent preparation and negotiations by Oasis

Berna, Burcu, Haluk, and Serap

...I wanted to share with your entire team our very enthusiastic appreciation for all of your hard work in organizing such a wonderful tour for the WMF group. I have heard from our guides and from a few of the travelers so far, and I wanted to pass along some words of praise: “Oasis did a very good job”

By all accounts the trip was very much enjoyed by all, so thank you very much for taking such good care of the group.  Clearly everyone appreciated your expert planning and your expertise and insights along the way, and we are so grateful for your role in providing such a memorable experience on behalf of WMF. 

Dear Mehmet,

On behalf of Boyden Turkey, I would like to extend my appreciation for your dedication, professionalism, and passion during our Boyden Euro Conference 2004 in İstanbul during November 2004. The planning, administration, and also Haluk’s and your personal dedication made our conference a great success.  Please also share our gratefulness with your team members including guides and other Oasis staff members. ıt has been a remarkable and efficient collaboration. Thank you!

Dear Ms. Berna Habip,

Just a few words to express my satisfaction for the very good arrangements and excellent organization of the EMISPHER International Conference that took place in Istanbul (Turkey) last week. I wish to personally congratulate Oasis Travel for its efficacy and efficiency that contributed, no doubt, to the complete success of the Conference.

All details were well-taken care off and that is what makes the difference. Keep up the good work and the high standards.

We made it home safely. Our experience in Turkey was a most enjoyable and profitable time. What we saw and heard will remain with us the rest of our lives. Our knowledge of the historical and biblical world of Turkey was greatly expanded! A major reason we feel this way is because of the wonderful guide we had: Gulin Pazargolu. She was great to work with; in fact, we all felt she was a part of our group, not just a guide. We found it difficult to leave her when we arrived at the Greek border. When other groups coming to Turkey are asking about a guide, I will appreciate your recommending her to them! God bless you and thanks for a fantastic time in your country!

Dear Muge, Haluk, Mahmut and Berna,

The Philadelphia University group just had their last night in Tunisia tonight, returning to Philly in the morning. I just wanted to let you know that everyone said their time in Istanbul was wonderful. So, my thanks for everything you did, as well as to the two speakers, (Mahmut's wife and S.Ozel). Let's hope this leads to much more.

Again, my thanks. 

Dear Berna,

I wanted to thank you for all your help on our trip--life is slowly returning to normal. The trip was wonderful in many ways. We somehow managed to see the various Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern sites.

All of us--Ruth, Elizabeth, and my mother and my mother-in-law--would like to thank you for arranging the trip. Our guide, Bihter , was a perfect fit for the group--extremely knowledgeable, a good sense of humor, and willing to be

Dear Berna,

First of all bravo and much gratitude from all our professors and students for the excellent guides, drivers, and hotels you provided all our groups within Turkey. They all were very pleased and plan to return I hope.

Warm regards,

Dear Mr. Mehmet,

First of all let me express my congratulations, to the whole Oasis staff, for the high quality of the service offered to us before and during the meeting.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Hi Haluk,

Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you (and Berna) for suggesting an itinerary and doing our hotel bookings for us. We had a great time in Turkey and really enjoyed all of the places we visited and the hotels you booked for us!

Take care and thanks again!
