Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Numan Kurtulmuş, in his speech at the Youth Gathering Program held in Buruciye Madrasa in the city he came to as part of the 104th anniversary events of the Sivas Congress, emphasized that 2023 marks the beginning of the second century of the Turkish Republic.
Stating that those who do not know where they came from will not know where they will go, Kurtulmuş said, “For him, we should not read a historical novel, but read, understand and comprehend history in order to take lessons from today and tomorrow.” he said.
Stating that national history should be assimilated and internalized together, Kurtulmuş said, “Our ancestors left a century behind with great struggles, and today Turkey has become one of the important countries of the world in terms of its point.” he said.
Emphasizing that Turkey has experienced important developments in every field, Kurtulmuş said, “It is never right to consider the achievements it has had enough for great nations. We cannot keep saying, ‘This is enough for us.’ That’s why we will always set big targets in front of us, we will set stronger targets. We will compete with the youth of the world’s nations, and by Allah’s leave, we will take this country much further.” said.
Kurtulmuş stated that the children of this nation have the ability and self-confidence to do everything in the world’s nations.
Stating that they aim for a strong Turkey in every field, Kurtulmuş said:
“The Century of Turkey is not only a goal, but a dream destined to be realized for Turkey. We will see the strongest dreams in the most difficult times. Those who do not have dreams will not have a future. It will never be possible for nations that do not dream to be among the great nations. For him, this is a great and “We will realize our strong goals. We will establish a Turkey that is strong in every field.”
Kurtulmuş said that Turkey will become one of the countries that will not be the ones who collect horseshoes in the world, but one of the countries that are followed in the field of science.
“We need to support our youth and families”
Kurtulmuş answered the questions of the young people after the speech.
In response to a question about the establishment of the Family Bank, Kurtulmuş said, “Youth and Family Bank came to the agenda during the election campaign as a political proposal. Of course, the infrastructure work was done and prepared. The establishment of this as a bank and what is as important as the bank is what Turkey has discovered, especially in the Black Sea region.” Some of the revenues from oil will be used as the capital of this bank. said.
Wishing that the relevant legal arrangements would be made as soon as possible, Kurtulmuş said, “This is an important project, that is, we need to support our youth and families. One of the important issues here is that especially young people will be supported in terms of marriage, starting a business, etc. I think it would be beneficial to turn it into a permanent, systematic support.” said.
“We need to protect forests like the back of our eyes”
Upon a question about forest fires, Kurtulmuş stated that there are currently very severe penalties for those who burn the forest deliberately.
Stating that they faced intense forest fires this year due to drought, Kurtulmuş continued his speech as follows:
“Let me tell you, what are the real reasons for each of these fires, they are being tried to be revealed. In other words, the perception that ‘someone comes, burns our forests, burns, leaves’ is wrong. As far as I know, I do not have a number at the moment, but the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry says this. There are numbers. In Turkey’s recent history, even in a long time, there are very few cases of deliberate burning of forests. Penalties have been imposed on these as well. We need to protect the forests like our eyes, thousands of acres of land are gone in a few hours. You need decades to plant those trees, here are sensitive On the one hand, while these forest losses are experienced in Turkey, new trees must be planted and new forests must be established to replace them quickly. Our students are pioneers and volunteers in the afforestation work. I would like to express that this is extremely important. I hope that by taking the necessary measures against them. “We will continue, but the rate of forest fires is increasing all over the world in the face of these extreme temperatures.”
After the program, Kurtulmuş examined the historical Gök Madrasa, which was restored and reopened to visitors.
