prof. The headlines from Ortaylı's words in the Young Look program are as follows:

They say, "There is no such thing as a Turk because I will delete a race, we are all Muslims. Okay, alhamdulillah, we are Muslims, but what about Arabs, Iranians and Pakistanis? They are also Muslims. There is no Turkish race. It is a ridiculous word. Everyone should not try to plan the world just because it suits them. "We shouldn't talk because some grown-ups will like it. People with academic titles need to speak a little more carefully."

"There were Turks before Christ. For one thing, it is not possible to establish this language after Christ. Turkish is a very rooted language."

"The Turkish army means an institution that protects the language. There were times when we could not use Turkish, the army always kept Turkish alive. Therefore, military service is a very important element in Turkish society."

"The naming of the 3rd Bridge after Yavuz Sultan Selim seems to be the effect of the current Iranian conflict. Otherwise, it's not like bragging that he killed the Alevis, it's not like that. But if the bridge is to be named, the name of Mimar Sinan will be given."

"I have not seen a serious criminal report from those who say that Atatürk's signature was imitated in turning Hagia Sophia into a museum. In 1934, the delegation of deputies gathered under the presidency of Atatürk decided to turn Hagia Sophia into a museum. Why it was turned into a museum, we do not know the events and reasons behind it. But Hagia Sophia It is something to be proud of for us to be a museum. It doesn't make sense to use it both as a church and a mosque. Is it a bathhouse? Is it like saying that women should use it during the day and men at night? If there is a congregation there, the other congregation will not enter. It's fantasy. There's no need to argue."

"Hagia Sophia is ours, its title deed is in our hands, it was conquered by us and turned into a mosque. We will not be ashamed of why we turned it into a mosque, confronting history and such is empty talk."

"How did Kanuni 13 expedition, which did not leave the harem, made?"
