The award ceremony will be held on Nov. 7 at the Urbaniana University in Vatican.
According to the statement, Büyüküstün was seen worthy of the award for her acting talent as well as her charitable character. Many productions, in which the famous actress took part, found fame outside Turkish borders and gained much success abroad, said the statement.
