At the same time, there are my precious daughter-in-law, the late Özdemir Bayraktars. And her heirs are my precious aunt Canan (Bayraktar). That’s it. A mother, a wife, who took care of all the accounting of the business personally, carried out this business.

Together with its own citizens, we laid the foundations of a Turkey that is the hope of all oppressed and victims. We made our country the shining star of its region with our investments. You will build it too. Do not forget, young people, we are now guests of your time. You will carry this country to the giants of the world. You will make our dream of full independence come true. I hope you will plant that blessed flag, which has been passed down from hand to hand, from generation to generation for a thousand years, on the bastion. As the youth of this country you will shoulder our cause, You will deliver the flag to your children. I hope you will revive the values that our martyrs gave their lives for. Together with Gazi Mustafa Kemal, you will honor the souls of Fatih, Yavuz, Kanuni, Sultan Abdülhamid, and the lambs with henna that fell to the ground in Çanakkale. You will walk on the path opened by our heroes of the War of Independence, who made the world narrow for the dirty hands reaching for our sister’s veil.”

Explaining that he is now seeing the youth he spoke about, President Erdoğan continued as follows:
“I see the promise of victory of our 40 years of struggle in this square. Here I see the space travelers, inventors, pilots, engineers and physicists of tomorrow.

Today, I surrender our country to their hands with peace of mind. “I see a youth like a diamond that we will build.
Noting that Turkey has implemented projects based on high technology, each of which is based on the hard work, effort and determination of engineers and technicians, President Erdoğan said:
“You have only seen the developments we have experienced in the last months. My dear brother (Aliyev) has just stated: Kızılelma took off, Togg was put up for sale. Here is Kızılelma, right in front of us. Akıncı is here. Our TCG Anadolu ship was handed over to the Naval Forces and TCG Anadolu has completed the last week. I hope he will spend it in Izmir. It is very meaningful, you know what I mean.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has committed to handing over Atatürk Airport, which hosts TEKNOFEST, where national technology projects are exhibited, to an American company. The name of being an advertising agency is buffalo.” said.

“The youth of TEKNOFEST has become a nightmare for some circles”
Expressing that the synergy created by Turkey with this event has begun to disturb some people very seriously, President Erdoğan continued as follows:
“The roaring TEKNOFEST youth has already become a nightmare for some circles in our country. With the scandalous statements they have made recently, they are revealing the hatred and grudge they have grown in their bellies. One of them is talking about touching Turkey’s defense projects if they come to power. The other is coming out, making models of UAVs and SİHAs. Another person says, ‘TCG Anadolu has a life of two bombs.’ “Another one comes out and talks about giving away the symbolic place of Turkey’s most popular projects to American companies. Whatever they do, it’s useless. They don’t use fancy phrases to hide their discomfort from Turkey’s defense industry moves and our country’s export record-breaking companies.” their grins are enough.”
“He began to disclose the instructions given to him in America one by one”
Pointing to the Nation Alliance, President Erdoğan said, “You know, now the coalition table has increased a lot. First they said 6, then it became 7, then it became 9. Now there is a 9 coalition table. Whatever you do, it’s empty, Nothing will come out of this. We’ve seen these coalitions a lot in the past. There were governments in this country for 3 months, governments for 6 months. There were governments for 9 months, 1 year. Here’s what the presidential system has provided to this country? This is the gain. The country got rid of these coalitions. We set out. We went roaringly and came to these days.” made its assessment.
Speaking about the video posted by CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu about Atatürk Airport on social media, President Erdoğan said:
“The candidate of the 9th coalition, in the video he released at midnight, says a lot of inaccurate things again. He started to disclose the instructions given to him one by one in America, where he went to eat hamburgers with FETO members. He hosted TEKNOFEST, where national technology projects were exhibited. While there are local and national companies that serve our country, our nation and our army, the name of being an advertising agency for American companies is buffalo.
Mr. Kemal, the people you talked to talked to me and said that they have a desire to make such an investment in Turkey. ‘Come here.’ I said. Our door is open to everyone as long as there is an investor, there is no obstacle. We haven’t seen it again since that day. Investing in Turkey requires heart and also seeing that there is a reliable government in Turkey. Those who try to undermine the goal of a fully independent Turkey in the defense industry are no different from the British and American Opposition Associations that opposed our War of Independence a century ago. Under the leadership of Kılıçdaroğlu and his followers, Gazi’s party turned into the American Society of Enthusiasts.”
“We have established hundreds of places for this in Istanbul and all over our country”
Noting that Kılıçdaroğlu talked about space studies at Atatürk Airport, President Erdoğan continued his words as follows:
On his trip to America, someone else operated and deceived him. By saying ‘Space, shuttle, Mars’, they scammed an absurd project into it. Anyway, at least they didn’t try to sell the Bosphorus Bridge to him. It is a waste to waste so much breath for someone who has no other virtue than to read what is put in front of him and to repeat what is whispered in his ear.”
President Erdoğan said: “I wish patience from Allah to our citizens who are considering voting for the CHP, especially the CHP, in honor of the memory of Veteran Mustafa Kemal. I wish the greatest patience to you, our youth, as they will be constantly exposed to him from various media during an election period.” used the phrases.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the youth as follows:
“Hopefully, young people, are you ready to put an end to all these shameful scenes on May 14? Are we ready to devote all our time and energy to the rapid construction of the Turkish Century after the elections? We will accelerate the projects that we have dreamed of for the new century of our Republic and that we have been preparing for years. Turkey, which we will deliver to our youth.” We will now make the final touches of the dome and make up for its deficiencies. We will entrust the great and powerful Turkish heritage to you.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that Alper Gezeravcı, who will go to the International Space Station, is a heroic Turkish pilot who has achieved significant success in the Air Force Command, and Tuva Cihangir Atasever, who was selected as a backup, is a systems engineer working in the field of space launch systems at Roketsan.
In his speech during his visit to the Aviation, Space and Technology Festival TEKNOFEST 2023 held at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, President Erdoğan stated that he wanted to repeat something he always said in the presence of young people, and noted that they have been doing only work and service politics in this country for 21 years.
Stating that the biggest proof of this is the investments they have made in the last few months and the services they heralded, Erdoğan said, “As we announce the good news, someone gets upset, gets angry, almost blacks out. Do you know what they say to my brothers in Giresun? I will raise the dollar.’ “Did you believe it? Your life is a lie. What did you promise and you kept it? What were they going to do in Istanbul? They would lower the water prices. What happened? What would they do? They would lower the bus prices. What did they do? That’s Ankara, that’s Izmir. Their life is a lie.” he said.
Now, Erdogan went further and said, “It was not finished with your good news.” Noting that there are those who say, “As long as the TEKNOFEST generation is with us, the good news will never end in this country, by Allah’s leave. We will continue on our way with new good news and new successes.” said.
– “An important step towards making dreams come true”
Reminding that they announced to the public the National Space Program, which will carry the country to the higher leagues in the global space race, two years ago, Erdoğan continued his words as follows:
“Today, we are taking another important step towards making these dreams come true. In the process that we started in May, we identified 2 space passengers, one primary and one backup. First of all, we would like to thank thousands of our citizens who applied to become space travelers. Congratulations. Our friend, who will embark on Turkey’s first manned space mission, will stay on the International Space Station for 14 days. Our space passenger will perform 13 different experiments prepared by our country’s esteemed universities and research institutions in this mission. Our backup candidate will also consolidate his education by performing a suborbital flight. The meeting time of our passenger with space is planned as the last quarter of 2023.”
Erdogan also stated that it is time to recognize the space travelers who will proudly carry the flag, which will be the symbol of Turkey’s strength and determination, in space.
Continuing his speech after watching the promotional film, Erdoğan said, “Our brother Alper Gezeravcı, who will go to the International Space Station, is a heroic Turkish pilot who has achieved significant success in our Air Force Command. Tuva Cihangir Atasever, who was selected as a backup, is a systems engineer working in the field of space launch systems at Roketsan. “I have no doubt that both of our brothers will fulfill their duties in the best way possible. I pray to my Lord for their success.” he said.
President Erdoğan congratulated the young people who ranked in TEKNOFEST competitions and expressed his gratitude to those who contributed to the establishment of TEKNOFEST, its success and its execution.
