About us
A club with an international accent, rooted in Ankara.
English is our working language and our doors are open to the whole city. We are a Rotary club of professionals who would rather build something durable than something loud.
What Rotary is
Rotary is a global network of neighbours, friends and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in their communities, and in themselves.
The Rotary Club of Ankara International is part of Rotary District 2430 and, through it, of more than a million Rotary members worldwide.
Service Above Self
Rotary's principal motto. It is the shortest description of what a club is for, and the reason our members give their evenings to it.

Service Above Self
The Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do, Rotarians ask four questions before acting.
- 01
Is it the TRUTH?
- 02
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- 03
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- 04
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
