"I expect you to support Turkey's development initiative."

After completing your education in a manner befitting TURKEN students, I expect you to return to our country in a much more equipped way and support Turkey's development initiative. In the eyes of each friend here, I see this ideal, this consciousness, and this determination. I know that TURKEN students are focused on the cause of a great and strong Turkey like an arrow aimed at a target. What makes a person great is undoubtedly their thoughts. A person exists as long as they can dream. They are alive, they are vibrant. We will not allow anyone to undermine our courage. Dear young people, I want to repeat a principle that I always express here. I hope this principle serves as an example, especially for you young people, and becomes a beacon that illuminates your path. Remember, where there is faith, there is also possibility. If a person has dedicated themselves to their cause, there is no obstacle they cannot overcome. The key to success is the determination, resilience, and discipline you show in realizing your ideals.
