ASKO Holding carried the joy of April 23rd to the earthquake-affected areas with the BAŞAK Traktör & MST Makina Children's Festival organized in Gaziantep İslahiye, Hatay Kırıkhan, Adıyaman and Kahramanmaraş.

ISTANBUL- BAŞAK Traktör and MST İş Makinaları operating under the roof of ASKO Holding gave an early April 23rd present to the children in the earthquake-affected region. Acting with the motivation to remove the traces of the earthquake to some extent, which hit the Southeastern Anatolia Region and affected tens of thousands of children, teams of BAŞAK Traktör and MST İş Makinaları gathered with the children in the region.

Pat Workshop Performance Team gave unforgettable memories to the children living in temporary housing areas located in Gaziantep İslahiye, Hatay Kırıkhan, Adıyaman and Kahramanmaraş, in coordination with director Cengiz Çevik and scriptwriter Özden İnal. Treats were also offered to children during the festival where earthquake-affected children danced, played various games, had fun with illusion shows, acrobatics and balloon shows. Agricultural and Construction Machines Coloring Books designed exclusively for children by ASKO Holding were also presented to children.

Children showed great interest in 5120 model tractor of BAŞAK Traktör and 644S model backhoe loader of MST Makina during the festival. Taking a close look at the machines, children satisfied their curiosity by asking various questions.

ASKO Holding said in a statement, "Our intention is to ensure that our children who experienced the earthquake that is one of the biggest disasters of the century and that deeply affected 11 provinces do not feel themselves alone."

The statement further indicated: "With BAŞAK Traktör & MST Makina Children's Festival, we wanted to make our earthquake-affected children forget the challenges they went through to some extent and have some cheerful moments. Our event represented an early April 23rd gift to our children. We completed our event with lots of fun, where we all had a whale of a time. We believe that love grows when shared. In the least, we cheered up our dearest children, who are our hope and future, on these difficult days they are going through."
