As of January, our Republic is entering a new century. This century will be the century of our republic with its power, energy, reputation, foresight and traditions coming from history. An era awaits us in which all the struggles, efforts and endless sweat we have put into the past century will turn into breakthroughs. We are sailing together into a century where the dynamism coming from youth will be kneaded with experience and strategic mastery.
This century will be the age of technology for Türkiye. A Turkey that has adopted and internalized technology in every field, from the defense industry to space, from automotive to mobile life, from aviation to global trade, will take its place on the global competitive stage.
This century will be the age of breakthrough for Türkiye. Our country, which is developed in every field and goes beyond its time in every field, will take its place among the developed economies of the world. A Turkey that is followed, taken as an example and has a say in global issues will be a superpower that the world will envy.
This century will be the age of science for Türkiye. With the sign we receive from our history, we will be the standard of knowledge, science and knowledge. The scientists of this land, which formed the basis for the construction of Western civilization, will grow again like saplings and enlighten the world from one end to the other.
This century will be the age of wisdom for Türkiye. It will be a century in which we discover our core values, find ourselves again, and where the hidden meanings in the secret of life meet their true meanings for our new generations.
This century will be the age of goodness for Türkiye. Developing and growing Turkey will be the voice of the countries and peoples that have been exploited for centuries, and will stand shoulder to shoulder with them and destroy their miserable past, born in the darkness of history, with a unique solidarity.
This century will be the horizon age for Türkiye. It will be a century in which the shackles that are tried to be placed on our necks are broken and shattered, we enter the future with hope and ancient expectations, and our path and dreams shine brightly.
This century will be the era of rise for Türkiye. Together, we will reach a century in which the projects we laid the foundations of will rise up and run, our efforts will reach results, our ideals will come true, and our struggles will reach results.
This century will be the age of will for Türkiye. Our country, with the burden and responsibility it has taken on its shoulders, will shout out what is the real truth against the injustice of the world.
This century will be the age of virtue for Türkiye. It will be a century where corrupted values come to life again, sublime treasures such as virtue, decency and dignity reach their rightful place, and the ashen global moral system is ignited with the spark that will arise from these lands.
In this century, Turkey has found its deserved place on the world stage, strengthened its position in every sense, has an absolute say in global issues regardless of geography, is respected for its ideas, views and power, has reached the level of contemporary civilizations, is innovative, playmaker, modern and progressive. It will be a Turkey century. It will be a unique century in which the seeds we plant bear fruit, the sweat we shed, and the efforts we make reach our goals.
This century will be the Century of Türkiye.
I greet you with these wishes and wishes, and I offer my respects with the hope that the new year and the new century will bring peace, health, abundance and immense prosperity to you, your family, your loved ones and our country.
