Konya's Historical and Cultural Heritage Emphasis
Drawing attention to the centuries-long historical and cultural heritage of the Seljuk school of education, Konya, President Altay stated that one of his most important responsibilities was to pass on this heritage to future generations. Pointing out that Konya has been the center of science, knowledge and wisdom since the Seljuk period, Altay said, “This ancient city, which has raised sultans of hearts, scholars and great thinkers such as Hz. Mevlana, Sadreddin Konevi, and Shams-i Tabrizi, brings the light of science and culture to our children today, as it did in the past. Our Children's Book Days event is also a reflection of this understanding.”
