Highly Esteemed Participants, Distinguished Advisors and Dear Guests, It is my pleasure and honour to welcome you all to the eighth annual session of the Atakum Anatolian Imam Hatip High School Model United Nations Conference, ATAMUN’26. My name is Ömer Faruk Selçuk and I am truly honoured to serve as the Secretary-General of this conference. Since its establishment, ATAMUN has goaled to bring together intellectually curious students who tries to understand global issues and contribute to brightful discussions. ATAMUN is not only a platform where delegates debate international issues, but also a unique environment where various minds develop diplomacy, cooperate and improve leadership skills. Our journey began in 2016 with the purpose of participating in Model United Nations conferences, and in 2017 we proudly organised our first conference among our own students. Over the years, ATAMUN has grown significantly thanks to the dedication and effort of our organizing team and participants. As result, we have established the only international conference in Samsun. Today, we are delighted to host the eighth conference of ATAMUN and continue this tradition of academic excellence and international dialogue. ATAMUN is not only an academic conference but also a place where friendships are formed, ideas are exchanged and unforgettable memories are created. We sincerely hope that this conference will inspire each of you to divert your perspectives, strengthen your confidence and contribute positively to the world around you. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Samsun and sharing this remarkable experience together. Kindest Regards, Ömer Faruk Selçuk Secretary-General ATAMUN’26
