"THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE A SAY IN ANY AREA OF TECHNOLOGY"
Minister Gürlek continued his words as follows:
"Dear young people, they do not want to see you as hundreds of thousands of people searching for the people of Palestine in Istanbul on New Year's morning. They do not want you to shout out to the world about the oppressed people in Gaza on every platform. They do not want you to deal with rockets, robots, software, artificial intelligence at Teknofest, or to have a say in any field of technology. The deep alliance of the evil centers within and outside us allows you to know your ancestors who ruled over 3 continents for 7 centuries, their spiritual spirit. They don't want you to revive your identity. They don't want you to strengthen your belonging to this land that your ancestors, who wrote epics in Çanakkale, left with their lives. They don't want you to be generations that read, write, think, and shape the future. They want to turn you into identityless and irresponsible generations, who are addicted to brands and luxury life. "They want to keep you from developing and becoming a prosperous society by giving you up to all kinds of addictions. They want to keep you away from the age and noble spirit when Fatih conquered Istanbul. They want to encourage you to live paparazzi lives and imprison you in a shallow mentality."
STATEMENT OF TERRORISM-FREE Türkiye
Minister Gürlek emphasized that the goal of 'Terror-free Turkey', which was initiated as a state and nation project, which is one of Türkiye's most important needs, and that a faithful stance towards this should be maintained, reminded that Türkiye lost many young people due to terrorism for nearly half a century. Minister Gürlek stated the following:
"This country has lost many of its young people to the scourge of terrorism for half a century. Sometimes we had young people who were deceived by right-left conflicts and sometimes by international traps. Likewise, many of our countrymen were martyred or became veterans in the way of protecting the order of our state and the peace and stability of our nation. We have opened a new page on the path to a terrorism-free Turkey. When you return to our 81 provinces, fill this new page with your words and works that increase national unity and brotherhood. Especially on our domestic front. "Turn towards discourses and actions that will strengthen us. Do not fall for the provocations and do not be deceived by the provocations that will bleed our wounds. The Turkish Century will be realized when a nation that has strengthened its unity and solidarity meets with all segments of the society under this blessed star and crescent flag. A Turkey that directs the energy, knowledge and labor of the youth to the development of the country will further strengthen the environment of prosperity and peace."
