The heading for this article belongs to the Vietnam Agency, the company that produced those wonderful advertorials for the Turkish Language Olympiads.

With information they gained after receiving the summary for the preparations of this year’s Olympiads, this was the slogan the agency had proposed. However, the organizing committee decided to use Yunus Emre’s famous call: “Come and Let’s Get Acquainted.” And this is a good development. Yunus’ sincere, concise and heartfelt call conveys the message of the Turkish Olympiads well.
