Right-wing and left-wing, we we killed. This was a very big mistake. Yet, there isnothing as valuable as thought; an opposing thoughtis at least as valuable as that.Turkey isoccasionally being trappedin certain things. Right-left conflict, Alevi-Sunniconflict,the conflict betweenthosewith uncovered heads and those with covered heads... Ball of thesewe put an end to all of them," he said.

"If a If the judiciary in the countryis not independent and impartial, it is not possibleto expect justice there.If there is no planning in a country, that country's futureis dark. Our reputationtodaywithUnfortunately, we do not have such an organization. Does the Central Bankhave independence in ensuring price stability? No, it does not. Because it lacks independence and there have been political interventionsweare struggling to ensure price stability today. City hospitals were built; that is fine.The construction cost is 12 billion dollars. However, with the 25-year Treasury guarantee, this figure reaches 97 billion dollars.This is aburden on the public. it emerges. For a project built for 12 billion dollars, 97 billion dollars is being taken from the state,moreover, it is Treasury-guaranteed. The construction cost of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge is 3.3 billion dollars; the Treasury guarantee is 9 billion dollars. The construction cost of the Osmangazi Bridgeis 1.2 billion dollars, and the Treasury guarantee is 15 billion dollars. Theconstruction cost of the Kütahya Zafer Airportis 50 million euros, while the guaranteed amount is 208 million euros.

"My requestfrom the youthI say: Focus on Turkey's problems. When there are differences of opinion, carefully avoid conflict.I am from the '68 generation. We paid heavy prices Wekilled each other as right-wing and left-wing. This was a huge mistake. However, asfarasthought goesis nothing more valuable; the opposing thought is at least as valuable as that. We are in the age of technol ogy, in the 21st centurywe are in. Wehave atremendous capacity. We also want to bringyoung people abroad back to Turkey. They should come. Theyneed to beable to workcomfortably. An environment must be created where they can work. Youngpeople should criticize politicianswhen criticized, politiciansshould welcomethiswithtolerance. Of course, we all have our mistakes, shortcomings, and errors. However, in the end,a politicianmust listen to criticism.

You should also come together and discuss among yourselves; do not be afraid of debating. do not hesitate, but do not fight. We, as the '68 generation,paid the price. I do not want you to pay the price. Debate freely.Because Turkey is sometimes imprisoned by certain things. Right-left conflict, Alevi-Sunniconflict,headscarfissues.theheadscarf debate... Wehave put an endto all of these. We ended them politically. From now on, continuethis approach. Embraceeveryone, and freely debatewith everyone. That is all I ask."
