Commemorating a touching instance of solidarity, Çağatay Dramalı, along with his family and physicians, took the trip to the Greek capital upon the invitation of his Greek donor Aleksandros Apostoludas.

The two came together at an event organized with the objective of promoting stem cell therapy there, adding even more meaning and significance to the occasion.

This reunion marked the first time the two individuals became acquainted with each other in real terms due to the international regulations prohibiting the patient and donor from meeting for two years.

Former Greek Prime Minister Lukas Papadimos, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis, and Turkish Ambassador to Athens Çağatay Erciyes, who welcomed Dramalı and his family at the embassy prior to the organization, were among the participants at the event.

Turning this precious event to an even more intriguing occasion, Cihan Dramalı, Çağatay Dramalı’s father, noted that his ancestors emigrated from Drama a century ago during the population exchange between Türkiye and Greece.
