General Manager Yalçın: “If I do it at the point of directing one's own life, what will the society say, the new custom for the old village, do you know better than anyone else, etc.? he clings to his comfort zone by blinding his vision with excuses, frankly, with the obstacles he puts into himself. He begins not to see his surroundings, moves away from sensitivities, and is deprived of his ability to empathize. In my opinion, this is the biggest obstacle. When we take this idea out of the individual and move it to the institutional level, the problem will become much bigger and a social collapse will begin.” he said.
