THEY ARE INTERESTED IN OUR COUNTRY

I share my experiences on these issues with young people. When we don’t have class, I listen to them talking about Sweden and tell them about our country and Izmir. They also ask how the life in Turkey is, the history of our country, places to visit or go for holiday. I find the opportunity to explain Turkey's privileges and advantages to young people.”
