A nation cannot be loved by separating its people as 'us and them'. Therefore, I repeat; no one is going anywhere. Those who are gone, return. Because in this beautiful land, we will live together in peace and health.”

We contribute to the budget of our youth by distributing meals to 10 thousand people at six locations in İzmir Institute of Technology, Dokuz Eylül, Ege, Katip Çelebi, İzmir Democracy and Bakırçay Universities. We protect the youth of Izmir with the laundries we have established in Çiğli and Buca, the support we have started for the students, and the free wifi service we have created all along the coast. We know that protecting a country is not just about protecting its border line. Just as we protect the borders of our country, drawn with the blood of our martyrs, at the cost of our lives, we have to protect every value within that border. And without a doubt, our youth and future generations come first among these values. That is why I say that service to youth is service to the future and our independence.”

Horse carriages going to tobacco were repaired, there were blacksmiths here, iron was shaped with fire. Now, this Youth Center will shape our youth, raise generations that will be beneficial to their country and that will take care of Atatürk's revolutions.”
