Historian Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı: This Republic is a high-quality republic

Ortaylı met with young volleyball players at the "Republic Conversations" event held at the Antalya Cosmos Sports Center, as part of the "Spike for the Future" project implemented by the Eczacıbaşı Sports Club in collaboration with ES Volleyball.

Noting that a healthy body is possible through sports, Ortaylı emphasized that it is particularly important for girls to acquire the habit of exercising.

Urging students to learn at least one foreign language and to read books consciously, Ortaylı said, "Sports and art are very important in social life. Prefer doing research from encyclopedias."

"THE REPUBLIC MUST HAVE QUALITY, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT"

Pointing out that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk carried out great revolutions, Ortaylı argued that political behavior is sometimes exhibited regarding certain issues related to Atatürk.

Stating that the people living in Turkey embrace the Republic, Ortaylı said, "This Republic is a high-quality republic. Simply being a republic does not make a nation.

There are also republics in the world that lag behind monarchies.

The Republic must have quality; this is very important. The men who founded it (the Republic of Turkey) are clear, its foundations are clear. Show respect. You need to be aware of some things." he said.
