Minister Varank opened the 9th Science Festival (ScienceFest) held at Konya Science Center. Starting his speech by expressing his sadness due to the forest fires in Muğla, Varank said:
INSTANT RESPONSE
Our drones take snapshots; firefighting planes, helicopters and sprinklers respond immediately. Our fire and forestry personnel, security forces are on the field at the cost of their lives. This fire will be brought under control as soon as possible and we will erase the traces of the disaster with the forestation works we will do afterwards.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TORCH
Exactly 8 years ago, I was very excited by the magnificence of Turkey's first and largest science center, equipped with modern technologies. This excitement has now turned into justified pride. Because the science and technology torch we lit in Konya that day spread to all corners of our country.
LOVE THAT GROWS
With the torch we lit, we instilled a love of science and technology in millions of our young people. This love, which grew like an avalanche, did not fit into the squares in Konya today. The city of science, wisdom and tolerance, Konya has shown us again today that it is also the city of science and technology.
WE TRUST OUR YOUTH
We put forward the National Technology Move to make Turkey a global base in the field of technology. We are determined to be a country that directs technology rather than following it. While presenting this vision, we trust our youth, who are the greatest power of our country. The bright future of our country is possible with our young people who follow science and technology.
GREAT AND STRONG TURKEY
We organize TEKNOFESTs and science festivals in all corners of our country so that our young people can gain a culture of research. We are pleased to follow that all of our efforts and efforts are positively affecting our youth. We are walking confidently on the way to a big and strong Turkey with the real driving force and locomotive of our country, the youth of TEKNOFEST.
HAVE A CRITICAL PLACE
Konya Science Festival has a critical place in this city for the socialization of science and technology. From workshops to exhibitions, our nation is witnessing the point we have reached in the field of technology, with many events held here.
INSPIRATION
While walking around the stands, you can examine the groundbreaking innovations in the defense industry, especially UAVs. I believe that these technologies will be a source of inspiration for our young people. All these products are the clearest indication of what a youth who believes in their own potential can achieve when they want.
