AKP 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 a time when art theories are collapsing and the art environment is changing. Our country will not only present new works to the world, but will also build the buttresses of the artistic concepts of the future.” Erdogan said: “The artist we are waiting for will be himself first. The artist we are waiting for will first express his cause with his art. That artist we hope will first show his time and energy with the works he produced for the good of the world, and surpass to his peers in the world. The artist we are waiting for will not try to show himself by shouting slogans, “The artist we are waiting for will show his achievement not with the political polemics he launched from his social media account, but with the wing he blew. That artist we hope will produce his own art instead of despising the nation he belongs to and constantly complaining. “
Those who deserve a reward
The AKP chairman announced the names that were deemed worthy of the award as follows:
“We also performed with our esteemed jury this year. We will present our award in the field of music to Özdemir Erdoğan. We will present our award in the field of cinema to Derviş Zaim. We will present our award for literature to our brother İbrahim Tenekeci. We will present our award to loyalty this year on behalf of the late Necmeddin Okyay. ” again, I congratulate our art people. “
