Dear Readers of Elevator World Turkey,
We are faced with disasters every single day and we keep asking, “What is the worst that could happen?” Especially in August, we suffered a lot due to the huge forest fires in the southwest costs of our country. Then, we were faced with a migration wave across Iran when Taliban took power in Afghani-stan. Unavoidably, all these cause changes in the demographic structure of our country. We will see their bitter fruits in the long run.
With our September-October issue, you will be informed about global events as well as our Focus on Special Projects. Following the opening, the industry is now full of activities. ASFED, which is entitled to receive the inscription “Turkey” at the beginning of its name and now called TASFED, visited BTSO MESYEB, which made a name with its vocational activities and the Elevator Test Center it opened in Bursa. Additionally, Ankara-based ANASDER made a series of visits to the Chamber of Industry and the Ministry.
The International Association of Elevator Consultants (IAEC) held its 2021 Forum inperson in Orlando, Florida. In this issue, you may read a detailed article about the event, where Elevator World CEO T. Bruce Mackinnon made a presentation
In this issue, we Focus on Inclined Lifts, which are often used at hotels and tourist attractions built on sloping lands. Please enjoy the details and stories of many projects from our country and the whole world. While our reports about inclined lifts arouse interest in other sectors, receiving nice feedback from the hotels and municipalities motivates us.

Although there is no vaccine shortage in our country, due to the acts of anti-vaxxers, the autumn starts with an increase in the number of pandemic cases and deaths. I hope anti-vaxxers give up being so stubborn and become helpful for getting closer to normal life.
I wish prosperity and good health for all our readers.
