A Touching Tribute: Gökçeada Youth Plant Trees in Memory of Lost Friends
The Young Gökçeadalılar Association held a meaningful tree-planting event on March 26, 2026. The young people not only took a positive step for their future but also carried out an act with a much deeper and emotional significance.
Remembering Lost Friends
The association's board planted a separate sapling in memory of each friend who had passed away at a young age on the island, showing a deeply meaningful example of loyalty. Special plaques bearing the names of the deceased friends were placed on each sapling.
Those remembered with a tree:
- Bahadır Taylan
- Mesut Akbaba
- Murat Bilgin
- Mehmet Akif Ünalmış
- Mustafa Dağlar
- Cevdet Koç
- Ecrin Varol
- Burak Akgün
- Süleyman Acır
Seeds in the Soil, Marks on the Heart
Dozens of young people attending the event worked closely with the soil, carefully placing the saplings. Each planted tree leaves a shared mark on the island's earth—both for the living and for those who have passed.
This meaningful initiative by the Young Gökçeadalılar Association has gone down in Gökçeada's history as one of the finest examples of social solidarity and loyalty.
