We will host our guests and young people, approximately half of whom come from the Turkish states and our wide geography of heart." he said.

"Such activities are very meaningful for young people's contribution to production and employment."
Kürşad Zorlu emphasized that young people are the most important power of the Turkish world cooperation journey and continued his words as follows:
"Today, the young population rate of the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States, which we call 15-24 years old, varies in various countries, but it is 26 million in total. Considering the current birth rate rates of Turkey and Azerbaijan, the young population of our sister states in Central Asia has a much greater meaning in the near future, especially in the period until 2050.
Therefore, we should also evaluate this cooperation in terms of being able to combine each other's advantages and disadvantages. Such activities are very meaningful in terms of the transformation of our young people in the future and their contribution to production and employment as a qualified workforce. "We will lay this foundation with the vision of our President, and by making it periodic, we will come together with hundreds of young people this year, and hopefully thousands in the coming years."
Kürşad Zorlu stated that he would share some good news with the public at the "Turkish World Youth Meeting".
Referring to the motto of the meeting, Zorlu stated that the common heritage forms the basis of the unity of the Turkish world and that we should move towards a common future on this basis.
Pointing out that there are very important developments in the world and that there are conflict and war zones in Türkiye's nearby geography, Zorlu said:
"Turkey, as a country at the center of these areas of instability, shows a political stance that tries to bring prosperity, peace and tranquility. The fact that this is implemented in the area where the Turkish states are located has a great meaning not only for our region, but also for the whole world to overcome these difficulties. We say 'construction of transportation and energy corridors from China to Europe', while we are building it step by step, it is very important for our young people to gain this awareness, to study in this field, to educate themselves in this regard and to take a strong part in employment fields." important."
