Mr. Adnan Oktar has accentuated the importance of arts, quality and aesthetics for years. Meanwhile he frequently reminds viewers that the government should demonstrate its side valuing arts and artists. During his speech at the Culture and Arts Grand Awards, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu also mentioned this issue and said, “Politics can only attain aesthetics and profundity by an artistic dimension.” August 22th 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: The right should follow a very good policy of the arts. In terms of painting, sculpture, music, and everything else. It is not about inviting artists and hosting for dinner. You should pay them a salary, encourage them, and grant awards to them. If necessary, you should organize art competitions. The state should take the initiative. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk made it so clear with his words: "A nation without arts and artists has lost one of his veins." May 6th 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Do you see any artists around? None. There are no artists at all. There is constant political fighting, a noisy clamor. An artist is a teacher of love and a teacher of beauty. They have to welcome artists with open arms. A Ministry of Arts and Aesthetics should be established right away. We should submit a petition to Mr. Erdogan and a petition to our Prime Minister. This is a vital issue. The aim of life is art, beauty and love. Otherwise, why would you build a bridge, a tube tunnel from land to sea? Otherwise, all of them would make no sense. Arts and aesthetics, which underlie love, should be considered as very important so that love can exist. May 24th 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: An established economy would not be sufficient. Arts, science, aesthetics, beauty, and above all, love. These are critical. February 3rd 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Because people are hurt by politics and because politics often involves harsh language and squabbling, people generally do not consider politics as the source of love. They consider it as the source of conflicts and difficulties. Nevertheless, when you speak of politics, it must be love that must come to your mind. Politics has to be under the rule of love. Politics should serve love.. In the time of Mahdi, politics will be the source of love and affection. Politics will be used to attain love and affection, if God permits. February 23rd 2014: A9 TV (Matteo Renzi, the 39 year- old Prime Minister of Italy announced his cabinet; half of his cabinet is made up of women.) ADNAN OKTAR: This is so nice. That aspect of Italians is nice. Ladies are free; ladies are beautiful; ladies are well-groomed. People are cheerful. They are fond of art, inclined to art, and gifted in art. They show a marvelous spirit. This is what is desirable in Turkey as well. No matter how many bridges or roads you build, it does not mean anything without art, without quality, without beauty. Art, aesthetics, faith, joy, satisfaction, the fear of God, and the love of God must be everywhere. |
