He was deep in thought in the office room…then he looked up, called his aide and instructed:

– Have me prepare a foundation deed!

-Your order is on my head, Pasha. What will its content be?

-My vineyards, gardens, pine groves and farm lands in Chios will be donated. Gum trees will be planted here, waterways will be opened…

-You command, His Excellency Pasha

-Look boy! I can tell by the curious expression on his face. You're wondering why and how easily I donate such precious lands, right? The state of the country is clear, the enemy does not give up. He's taking the opportunity. If we do not dedicate these places and die, these lands will be theirs when these lands are occupied. No one can touch the foundation's property, with Allah's permission. Do you understand now?

Thus, Salih Pasha, by means of the foundation he established in Chios: In addition to the construction of new waterways, he planted many gum trees on the foundation lands, thus ensuring the value and protection of the property. Years passed… The Ottoman Empire was disintegrated by the First World War. The islands next to Turkey were left to Greece. And today, unfortunately, there is no trace of the foundation of this Ottoman Pasha in Chios. Today, the world chewing gum trade is under the monopoly of Greece alone. The island of Chios (Chios) has a large income from the gum tree. The resin of this tree is used as a raw material in the food and chemical industry. The second important center in the world where the mastic tree can be grown is Çeşme, and since 1993, the Governorship, District Governorate and Aegean Forestry and Research Group have been working on the development of the Gum Tree.

For some reason, no further progress could be made. I think these fountain people should be willing to make use of this great blessing…
