Below are some highlights of President Erdogan’s statements:
Today, we stand together for our artists who generously share their inspiration with us. In the long pages of history, they sometimes built civilizations with colors, patterns, stones, and sounds, linking ages with ages.
These lands in which we live, this fertile Anatolia, are like a great portfolio for the production of art. The spirit of the age, which has been overlaid with layers of culture from Göbeklitepe, Rome and Seljuk to this day, lives proudly on the land. Look at the artifacts showing the theft of history that fill the world’s museums today. We must act with an understanding that embraces the universal.
We live in an age where theories of art are collapsing, the art environment is changing, and art theft hits the face. At this time, our country will also lay the buttresses of the artistic concepts of the future. We are waiting for that artist. The artist we hope will be himself first. He will express his cause with his art. He will show his time and energy with the works he produces for the good of the world. The artist we were waiting for will not try to show himself shouting slogans, and his achievements will be applauded in the most magnificent halls in the world. The artist we hope will carry on with his art instead of despising the nation he belongs to and constantly complaining. The artist we are waiting for will show his opposition not with the political controversies that he launches from his social media account, but with the art that flies. I think my beloved nation is waiting for this artist as much as I am. Perhaps this artist is a child from our house, perhaps a neighbor, perhaps he is in this room. Wherever you are, devoted artists, this nation is waiting for you to aesthetically rise from the ashes and regain their lost treasure. Come and direct our delay towards civilization. Come with the force of the Katalin power of Turkey.
With this understanding, we determine the names to be awarded each year. If the east-west synthesis is possible in these lands, Saadettin Ökten is one of the people who can realize this in his personality. Those who heard our poetry from their language, either in their classes or in the advice of friends, had the opportunity to learn more about the subtleties of our civilization.
