President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the Grand Presidential Awards Ceremony for Culture and Art held at the Presidential Palace.

Speaking at the ceremony, Erdogan listed the characteristics of the “kind of artist you expect.”

“We live in an age where theories of art are crumbling and the artistic environment is changing. Our country will not only present new works to the world, but will also lay the pillars of the notions of art of the future,” said Erdogan, “The artist we are waiting for will be himself first. The artist we hope will first express his case with his art. That artist will first show his time and energy with the works he has produced for the good of the world, he will surpass his peers in the world The artist we are waiting for will not try to show himself by shouting slogans, he will be applauded in the most magnificent halls of the world with his achievements. “The artist we hope will produce his own art instead of despising the nation to which he belongs and constantly complaining.”

Atatürk’s response came from the artists to Erdogan’s words.

Actor Berna Laçin told Erdogan Ataturk “What a deal! That happen? The artist does not kiss! On the contrary, the artist’s hand is kissed! Mustafa Kemal Ataturk responded with his promise.
