Gathering with district officials at the AK Party Gaziosmanpaşa District Headquarters, Kacır said that they were building the Turkish Century together.
Kacır said, "We never see these concepts as a mere slogan or a mere motto. We are sincerely trying to put the stamp of the Turkish nation, the most honorable nation in history, on human history in the second century of our Republic, and to do what is necessary, we continue to run hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, back to back with you, our nation, day and night, day and night. We have come a long way. We have brought together Türkiye with works, services and centuries-old achievements. "Türkiye turned into a major production power during the AK Party rule." made his assessment.
Stating that Türkiye is number one in Europe in white goods production, Kacır said, "Turkey is number one in Europe in commercial vehicle production. Number one in Europe in bus production. Number one in Europe in solar panel production. Number one in Europe in steel production." he said.
"Türkiye is number one in the world in military unmanned aerial vehicle production. We did not reach these levels easily, we have built a tremendous infrastructure." Kacır said, "We established a production capacity. We allocated great resources to research, development and innovation activities. We strengthened our human resources in this field. When we came to power, the number of people doing research and development in Türkiye was 29 thousand. Now there is an R&D army of 311 thousand people." he said.
Stating that there were 2 technoparks in Türkiye when the AK Party came to power, Kacır said, "56 companies were doing research and development in these 2 technoparks. Now there are 115 technoparks in Türkiye. 13 thousand technology companies continue their research, development and innovation activities in these technoparks." gave the information.
Explaining that when the AK Party came to power, 414 patent applications were made annually, Kacır said:
"Now, more than 11 thousand patent applications are made in this country every year. We built the infrastructures of all the advanced technology achievements we achieved during the AK Party government under the leadership of our President, and we achieved the greatest results in the defense industry and aviation. In fact, we, as a nation, achieved much earlier results in this field.
There is a name called Vecihi Hürkuş in our history. Vecihi Hürkuş. Unfortunately, the name Vecihi is not used in most of our families. Because we came to know the name Vecihi as a character satirized in movies in the 70s. We are familiar with him as a character who is the subject of humor and ridicule. It is interesting. However, Vecihi Hürkuş is one of the most important names in Turkish history and Turkish aviation history. "We are talking about a War of Independence hero who was awarded with a letter of appreciation by the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye three times."
Kacır reminded that the story of the Devrim car was known and that Turkish engineers developed a local and national car in Eskişehir in a very short time and put it on the road, and said, "What happened on October 29, Republic Day? The car remained on the road because there was no fuel or gasoline." he said.
Stating that the day after the incident, the Devrim car was executed with headlines so that it would not have a chance to live, Kacır said, "They made headlines: 'The Revolution is stranded on the road'. Praise be to God, a strong will came to Türkiye in the 2000s. A strong leader came to the Turkish nation. And step by step, all the stories that were aborted and left unfinished were brought to an end and turned into reality." he said.
Kacır said that the Devrim car, which was buried in the ground, came to the stage again with Togg and said, "Vecihi Hürkuş and Nuri Demirağ were blocked. Now, the Turkish nation has put its signature in the sky with Bayraktar, Akıncı, Anka, Aksungur, Hürkuş, Hürjet, Atak, Gökbey, Kaan, Kızılelma." he said.
Stating that all of this is a trailer, a preview, and that much greater success will be achieved in the Turkish Century, Kacır emphasized that he said this with conviction.
Minister of Industry and Technology Kacır stated that Türkiye experienced a major earthquake disaster and said, "But with the power and strength of the state and the power and strength of the Turkish nation, we have implemented a period of recovery unprecedented in history." he said.
Stating that they rapidly rebuilt schools, hospitals, infrastructure, roads and industrial facilities together with all city components, as well as nearly 500 thousand residences in a very short time, Kacır explained that urban transformation works are continuing in Istanbul.
Kacır visited tradesmen together with district officials at the AK Party Gaziosmanpaşa District Headquarters.
Minister Kacır later attended the Young People Interview program at Aziz Sancar Farika Kitaplı Kahve.
Referring to high school and university exams, Kacır said, "Of course, these are important thresholds in human life, but they are neither the beginning nor the end of everything. Ultimately, I hope the journey will continue in any case." he said.
Stating that he knows many people who could not achieve the success they wanted in these exams but later achieved great success, Kacır stated that he also saw people who were very successful in these exams but later failed to reach their desired goals. Kacır said, "Of course we will try, but we will also be aware that this job is not everything, this exam is not everything in life." made his assessment.
Kacır said:
"Youth years are truly the best years of a person. The most enjoyable and truly unforgettable years of life with friends, loved ones and loved ones. Of course, these are the periods when the heavy burden of life has not yet fallen on the shoulders and there is a little more freedom. Therefore, on the other hand, it is necessary to make an effort and study. In our past years, there was no social media in the sense of today. Communication applications had just become widespread. Nowadays, we spend about 6 hours in front of the screen every day. This is actually very accurate for human nature. It's not a choice."
Minister Kacır stated that humanity will wake up at some point and will record this period in history as a period in which it "missed a little and actually experienced losses in some aspects of its journey."
Kacır pointed out that people can be happy with family ties and friendship ties, and said, "The digital world consists of a serious amount of illusion compared to the real world. In other words, what we see there is what we encounter. And the things that take up our time and keep us captive in front of the screen are mostly illusions. In fact, what is real is our unity and togetherness here." made his assessment.
Stating that the world is not going through a very bright period and that conflicts and wars are not over, cannot be ended or stopped, he continued his words as follows:
"In science, technology, and communication, human beings have gained the knowledge and experience to achieve what they have not been able to achieve for centuries. But all this high technology has not brought peace to human beings. Human beings long for justice. Human beings long for mercy. Human beings long for peace. These are achievements that we can only achieve and achieve with our civilizational values. We are the children of a very deep-rooted civilization."
Referring to the importance of satellites and artificial intelligence, Minister Kacır said, "Artificial intelligence means data centers, data centers mean energy. Data centers will be established with satellites that benefit from solar energy. Therefore, space is very strategic. Our President is such a great leader that most of all these works will be mutual after decades. These are not jobs that will pay off immediately. These are jobs that the Turkish nation will fully achieve results after 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years." he said.
