President Tunç Soyer“We slow down to remember something, speed up to forget. This age of speed is pulling us away from our ties with the past. We live life as something that begins and ends with us. However, as all living things have genetic codes, societies also have genetic codes. It is easier for you to detect the genetic codes in individual units in living things, it is easier for you to understand that they are sustainable, but the genetic codes of societies are difficult to understand. It is necessary to understand the individuals we describe as the keystone there. It is necessary to understand the traditions, architectural designs, music and culture well. Based on them, it is possible to find traces of the past and better understand the genetic codes. If we don't understand those codes well, there is no future. Moving it to the next century is a good wish for now, maybe, I hope we can fulfill that wish and carry the republic to the second century together. I congratulate you for your work that will guide him, shed light, and inspire us to understand history.”
