Receiving young people from 81 provinces and 10 different countries at the Parliament on the occasion of the May 19 Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş emphasized that it is a necessity to leave terrorism completely behind and build a Turkey free of terror.
