President Erdoğan visits TEKNOFEST 2021

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited TEKNOFEST Aerospace and Technology Festival at Istanbul Atatürk Airport.

President Erdoğan drew attention to the efforts the youth had exerted in many fields, from aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles and electrical vehicles to industrial robots, biotechnology and environment, in the competitions held as part of TEKNOFEST, and said: “All the projects introduced here are each a product of a teamwork together with the school, teacher and family. What we have here in addition to the efforts of our youth is Turkey’s experience and rich potential. What we have here are successful scientists, engineers, technicians, researchers and astronauts who will shape Turkey’s future.”

“TEKNOFEST is the festival of records and record-breakers,” noted the President, and added: “TEKNOFEST is the festival of those who do not know the meaning of the word tired or let anyone set boundaries for themselves. There is a unique feast of technology for people of all ages here. There is poetry in motion in the skies of Istanbul by Turkish Stars, SOLO TURK planes, Aksungur UAV, ATAK Helicopter, parachute teams, Hürkuş aircraft, GÖKBEY helicopter, Bayraktar TB2 Tactical UCAV, all of which are the apples of our eyes. Obviously, this year a new member has joined our guards in the sky this year. Akıncı UCAV, our source of pride across the world, has appeared as the new star of our visual treat in the sky. Also, Turkey’s automobile TOGG, another initiative of ours, has made its debut.”
