"Be proud of your children. They are graduating from our university, which carries the name of Sheikh Edebali, who guided us with the advice 'Know science, know wisdom, know speech.' Your children are now graduates, equipped with scientific knowledge and high ethical and moral values, as individuals who know science, wisdom, and speech.

Throughout their education, you have been by their side, supporting them. Now, we share in their happiness together."
