“THE MASSACRE CONTINUES IN GAZA THANKS TO THE USA AND WESTERN COUNTRIES THAT SUPPORT ISRAEL”
Delivering a speech at the award ceremony, Conscious Teachers Association (ÖĞ-DER) Chairman Numan Gökmen drew attention to the massacre in Gaza and stated that Israel wants to hegemony the whole world.
"Israel, which has been murdering babies and innocent people in front of the world for two months and working to keep 8 billion people under hegemony and enslaving them, continues to commit massacres in Gaza with its supporters, the USA and Western countries. I wish God's mercy to our martyred brothers," Gökmen added.

Pointing out that cinema continues to influence people all over the world with its power, Gökmen stated that cinema has influenced society.
"The Western world is trying to make our children look like them with their corrupt actions. Sometimes they do this with movie scripts and sometimes with articles.
