Beyazıt told journalists that they were examining the events in Şanlıurfa and Kahramanmaraş and that they were at the report stage.
Condemning the attack that took place yesterday in Manisa, Beyazıt wished recovery to the injured.
Beyazıt stated that they have to bring a perspective to the events by considering not only the school and the student, but also the family, street, environment and society, and said, "No digital environment can be more valuable than a mother's compassion, a father's attention, a teacher's effort. No digital environment can give the love we think of." he said.
Stating that they want there to be conscious students who use technology, Beyazıt said:
"We consider it beneficial to have a system of students who evaluate their conscience and morality and have high feelings of compassion and justice. While doing all this, I would like to call on families, mothers, fathers and the environment to protect children from the violent, various harms, risks, nihilism and extremism of digital environments. We will also examine our incident in Manisa. Again, in the background, we see the effects of this extremism, this nihilism, the effects of violence. Social platforms, producers are also prone to violence, "We also have to protect our children from evaluations about games that lead to harm and crime. For this reason, we believe that it would be very beneficial for the environment, school, family and society to come up with urgent solutions to this issue in coordination and really concentrate their interests and concerns."
Explaining that they will visit the injured children in Turgutlu in hospitals and at their homes within the scope of their program, Beyazıt said, "After receiving the information, we will continue our work in Ankara and very soon we will compile the work into a report and submit it to the Presidency of the Parliament." he said.
