Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) and National Youth Association (MGV) President Salih Turhan, AGD Istanbul Branch President Mehmet Yaroğlu, Saadet Party Sultanbeyli District President Fetullah Bülbül, AGD Sultanbeyli Branch President Emrah Satilmis as well as many citizens attended the program.
A series of cine-vision shows about Erbakan were also displayed.
The program held at Sultanbeyli Necmettin Erbakan Cultural Center started with the recitation of the Holy Quran.
“WE DON'T SEE ERBAKAN HODJA AS A PERSON WHO LIVED IN THE PAST”
Addressing the participants in the program, AGD and MGV Chairman Salih Turhan reminded the services of Erbakan Hodja.
"As the National Visio movement, we do not see our Erbakan Hodja as just a person who lived in the past. We put up a great struggle to understand and explain our Erbakan Hodja. To understand the struggle of our teacher Erbakan, we need to look before 1969. Before 1969, there was neither proper industrialization, nor proper production, nor proper employment in Turkey. Our Erbakan Hodja faced many problems not only in economic matters but also spiritually. In such an environment, in 1969, our teacher Erbakan made a move called the 'Independent Movement' and included the National Vision on the agenda of the people in Turkey," he said.
"ERBAKAN WAS AMBITIOUS AND DETERMINED"
Salih Turhan stated that it was not easy to bring the National Vision movement to this level.
"As young people, we may not know how National Vision went through. However, our elders know better what the National Vision cause and our Erbakan Hodja have been through in the past 53 years. While our teacher Erbakan started the heavy industry move for the material development of people in this country, on the other hand, he also provided important services for spiritual development. Erbakan appeared before us as a leader who is determined, determined and persevering when he says, along with material and spiritual development," Turhan added.
