Annual sibling photo tradition: where I graciously let them stand next to greatness (aka me, the oldest sibling). Another year of surviving and thriving as the family CEO! 😎 I remind everyone that I’m the oldest, wisest, and most patient (mostly because I have to put up with

50 shades of white!!! More like one pure, dazzling Ashgabat! 🏛️✨ Exploring this marble masterpiece of a city was unforgettable, but the real highlight? The amazing company of stakeholders from #turkmenistan and OSCE colleagues and friend that made every moment brighter. 🫶🌍

Për mua Turi nuk ishte vetëm një figurë publike por edhe një kujtim fëmijërie nga Rruga e Durrësit. Më pas, rrugët tona u kryqëzuan në studio televizive. Edhe kur nuk mendonim njësoj, tek ai admiroja mençurinë dhe kujdesin për të mos lënduar. Prehu në paqe, Turi! Qofsh i Parajses
