Speaking at an opening ceremony in Kayseri, Erdoğan said: “We have step by step walked towards our goals and visions, renewing our country’s infrastructure from a to z, consolidating the superiority of national will, and making the whole world acknowledge our country’s political and diplomatic strength.”

Erdoğan stated: “We have dreams for our country, nation, region and for our civilization. Remember that those who do not have dreams have no goals either. When we announced our goals for 2023 11 years ago, some circles pursed their lips. After that, when we started to voice our visions for 2053 and 2071, we came across the same contemptuous attitude. We have step by step walked towards our goals and visions, renewing our country’s infrastructure from a to z, consolidating the superiority of national will, and making the whole world acknowledge our country’s political and diplomatic strength.” (ILKHA)
