HALUK GÖRGÜN ON THE MICROPHONE

Radio D's guest on the last day was Presidential Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün. Answering the questions of Radyo D Editor-in-Chief Fatih Uslu, Görgün said that the first thing he noticed when he looked at the TEKNOFEST area was the smile in the eyes.

97 PERCENT FROM TURKISH UNIVERSITIES

Görgün stated that the Presidency of Defense Industries is coordinating the domestic production of defense industry platforms and their sensors, sensors, actuators and weapon systems in its 41st year and said, "With the strong will of our President and his trust in young people in the last 20 years, the local production rate, which was around 20 percent, has reached 83 percent." he said.

TURKISH SENSITIVITY

Görgün stated that the names given to local and national systems were determined by the young people who contributed to the projects, and that they received an award from the Turkish Language Association for this reason. Emphasizing that it is necessary to be careful about sharing information in the defense industry, Görgün said, "It is necessary to share information without giving rise to open intelligence.
