GREEN CRESCENT SOCIETY (HILAL-I AHDAR)


Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Health Sciences Lecturer A. Mucella SOYDAN shared about the history of YEŞİLAY.


Green Crescent Society (Hilal-i Ahdar), whose aim is to combat all harmful substances, especially alcoholic beverages, was found on March 5, 1920 with the encouragement of Haydarizade İbrahim, the Sheikhulislam of that period, and with the permission of Sultan Vahdeddin. It was found by Mazhar Osman Uzman and his friends in Istanbul.

Shortly after the establishment of the Green Crescent, which is considered to have been established during the difficult times of the ceasefire period, the First Parliament enacted the Alcohol Prohibition Law. Even though the abolition of the law in 1924 affected its work, the Society did not lose its determination to fight against alcohol and went to enlighten the public by holding more meetings and media.

"Hilal-i Ahdar" changed its name to Green Crescent at its congress in 1929. The Association, which used this name until January 22 1936, took the name of Green Crescent after this date. In 1934, under the Presidency of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the Prime Ministry of Ismet Inonu, the Green Crescent was granted the "Status of Association Working in the Public Interest" by the decision of the Council of Ministers.

The fields of work of the Green Crescent, which has passed a century since its establishment, have been tobacco, drugs, gambling and technology addiction after alcohol. In our country, 1- 7 March is celebrated as Green Crescent Week.
