Visit to Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu's Museum

Dr. Akkan Suver was accepted by former President Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu during his official visits in Bucharest.

After visiting Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu, Dr. Akkan Suver visited the Romanian Geological Institute, where former present served there as professor for years. On the ground floor inside the University, the authorities of the Geological Institute, which devoted a large area to Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu, created a Museum in his name. He donated all the gifts given to him throughout his life and his Presidency.

Dr. Akkan Suver shared his thoughts with the media after the visit and stated that:

When my friend Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu showed me around the museum, he said that "my house stayed fully empty"

He evacuated his house but left a great permanent gift to humanity.

It's not easy to give up your precious things while you're alive. My friend Prof. Dr. Constantinescu did just that. Not only did he succeed, he shared his success with his institution where he trained students for years.

Valuable gold and silver gifts, countless medals and berats, rare precious stones, great memories with historical books, and among them, I cannot tell you how happy I am when I see the two gifts of Patriarch Bartholomew and I present to him here.

Being able to give up what they have in their health and leave them to a place is a high virtue that makes people different and it is highly uncommon. I have seen and proud to say that my friend Prof. Dr. Emil Constantinescu is one of those rare individuals who can live up to this virtue.

On this trip, I once again believed in the importance of unrequited service to the country and humanity.

I want to finish my article with a paragraph from Ernest Hemingway's famous book "For whom the bell tolls"

"The most important thing in the world is to live, to put forth a work, to see, to hear, to learn and to understand."
