The President Erdoğan: “I would never hesitate to put arts and culture at forefront”

Publicly explaining in his years-long tv programmes that quality is one of the most important topics in life, Mr. Adnan Oktar has been insistently emphasizing for years that it is impossible for any country to go further when the quality, art, aesthetics, science and happiness of women are ignored; and he has been giving examples of Atatürk’s sense of art and quality.

As a matter of fact, frequently mentioning the subject of quality after Mr. Oktar’s speeches on the issue, President Erdogan has recently stated that the power of nations is measured by the arts and culture they possess, quoting Ataturk.

(About Atatürk...)

ADNAN OKTAR: If only they could be half the man this charismatic and saintly human. Look at how elegant, cheerful and classy he is. Let them see the epitome of handsomeness and bravery. Look at how noble, classy he is. Everything about him is elegant and classy. This is the ideal statesman persona. A statesman should be as stylish, classy, graceful, and exquisite as Atatürk. Atatürk is underappreciated. There should be a comprehensive program to reintroduce Atatürk. It would be better if TRT took initiative once more in this regard. The Presidency of Religious Affairs should have sermons in all mosques and have preachers give speeches, and TRT should broadcast non-stop to promote Atatürk. The younger generations should learn to recognize and appreciate him.

Atatürk needs to be back on the agenda... Atatürk has not been promoted properly. If Atatürk's classiness was properly conveyed to and widely adopted among the Turkish youth, we would become the greatest country in Europe. Let's keep Atatürk constantly on the agenda from now on

ADNAN OKTAR: In Turkey, they want to separate the public into two That is, there is a segment of people known as Kemalists and intellectuals, who dance, laugh, play, listen to music, and value quality; and they love Atatürk. And then there is another segment of people, an introvert segment known as the Orthodox, the ones who despise Atatürk, the ones who also despise listening to music, who don't care much about their apparel, or art, painting, any form of entertainment, or a lively way of life.

Now, what we do is applying the mortar to keep these two segments together. So, what are we doing? We say, “we are both religious, we are for the holy, we are for the spiritualism, we accept the Sunnah that aligns with Qur’an, and we also accept dance, entertainment, music, freedom and everything the youth likes.” And this is a very powerful combination.

Atatürk cleared the dajjals and tyrants off. He annihilated polytheism. He reintroduced the Islam based on the Qur’an and as practiced by the Companions. Atatürk scattered away the dark clouds over the Ottoman Empire. He gave rise to the intellectual Turkey. He created the glorified Turkey. He was a person of love, quality, good manners, affection, friendship, brotherhood, classiness, science, art, aesthetics, and he was everything that is beautiful.

ADNAN OKTAR: There should be a course to teach quality. Most of the children are unaware of the reason why they live. They don't know the purpose of life. They are in depression. Some of them commit suicide. They also don't know why they are studying. If you'd ask, they wouldn't know. They are trying to find out on their own. This is not the way. You should tell them. For instance, it is vital to learn about quality for a girl and fora boy, as well. About the ways to become a quality young boy, a quality young girl, how to have a quality face, quality hair, quality make-up, quality clothing, food, table... We can count thousands of these.  These all should be taught. The most vital subject of the life is quality. The most beautiful characteristic of the heaven is its quality. Because of its quality, the heaven is beautiful.

ADNAN OKTAR:  First and foremost, the way public views quality must be changed to set the ground for quality. A person’s having high quality on his own wouldn’t change a thing. His having quality will isolate him.

Quality should be widespread, and for quality to be widespread, people need to know God’s sense of quality.  They need to know God’s sense of artistry. And for this to happen, Islam of the Qur'an needs to be told both in Turkey and all over the world, it needs to be told everywhere.

ADNAN OKTAR:  Building roads, bridges, and dams lacks something without art and freedom. There should be art on every street and we should have freedom for women. Establishing a Ministry of Arts and Quality is a very important topic. This shows the importance Turkey place on the subject. If one step is taken towards it, more will follow.

ADNAN OKTAR:  When the word Muslim is pronounced, they want people to imagine a profile of uncared and dirty people with no taste However, being a Muslim means kindness, quality, beauty, art, science, good manners, nice words and in short everything that is beautiful.

Life would have no meaning and beauty without art, quality, and aesthetics. We cannot bring up a generation that takes pleasure from art without educating them. The Ministry of Art and Quality should immediately be established for art and quality to dominate all walks of life from construction to shoemaking. Let this be the basic politics.

ADNAN OKTAR: The government should be modernized with a greater quality and art should flourish. Freedom of women, prioritising women, art and quality… Any country that lacks these suffers from coups.

Look around the world and you’ll see coups happening in every single one of these countries.

ADNAN OKTAR:  Turkey deserves a European style sense of art, quality, and democracy.

There may already be a Ministry of Arts and Culture, but there may be a Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Aesthetics or maybe a subsidiary of Ministry of Arts and Culture. There may be a Ministry of Culture and Quality. There is an advantage in establishing a ministry that will combine art, quality, and all.

During the ground-breaking ceremony for a museum, the President Erdoğan emphasized the importance of quality and said:

"If I was asked about how the power of nations and societies is measured, the observation I would report with highlights is this: I would never hesitate to put arts and culture at forefront. This is number one on the chart. Today, when we look at the countries known as global powers, we realize that the real things that reminds us of them in our daily lives are the products of arts and culture.”

If they take serious steps in arts and culture, Turkey will hold a more powerful position in the world and the perspective of the society, especially of the youth, in our country will also develop and broaden.

To establish this, we are determined to move up education and culture among our priorities. We know that, otherwise, our future will be in danger. The father of our republic, Veteran Mustafa Kemal expressed this when he said: "A nation deprived of art has lost one of its life veins." In this manner, every investment made in arts and culture excites us and makes us happy."
