President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the “TEKNOFEST Southeast” event area at Şanlıurfa GAP Airport.
President Erdoğan made a speech at the event.
Commencing his speech by wishing Allah’s mercy upon the five miners who lost their lives in the mine collapse in Soma last Thursday, President Erdoğan noted that the investigation is being carried out in a multidimensional manner, and that those responsible will definitely be brought to account.
President Erdoğan stated: “This magnificent atmosphere here at our GAP Airport; the resolution, excitement and determination of the youth here clearly show us that Türkiye’s future is, praise be to Allah, in safe hands. My country has an open path, a clear horizon and a bright future ahead. The Century of Türkiye will bear the trace, seal and stamp of the TEKNOFEST generation. The youth here are the source of pride of this nation, the apple of this country’s eye, and the strongest sign of the prosperous and reputable Türkiye. I am proud of each and every one of you.”
Stressing that the youth at TEKNOFEST will stop war criminals and genociders, President Erdoğan said: “With the products you produce, with the projects you realize, with your character, courage, knowledge, compassion and mercy, you will heal the wounds in our kindred geography, from Palestine to Lebanon, Yemen and Libya.”
Stressing that with defense products, software, platforms and equipment they produce through indigenous and national means, they increase Türkiye’s efficiency and deterrence on one hand, and meet the defense needs of Türkiye’s friends and allies on their demand, President Erdoğan added: “We have exported $511.4 million worth of defense and aviation products solely in August this year We have increased our exports in January-August period by 16.2 per cent year-on-year, and have reached $6.3 billion. This figure was just 248 million dollars yearly when we took office. The Turkish products have come to these days through the efforts of the companies you see here, and through our supports. We have worked, endeavored, and achieved all these, without giving in in the face of challenges. We will inshallah come to much better places.”
