He stated:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe survival problem of this country is that three out of every four young people have packed their suitcases in their minds. In more than five surveys, 62 to 78 percent of young people say, \u201cIf I can, I want to go abroad, settle and live there.\u201d Unfortunately, the brilliant young people of this country, those who are well-educated or who have not been able to benefit from the equal opportunities they deserve, are leaving. We knew and know how to repel those dreams. The real problem of a country is when it\u2019s young people dream of other countries.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his speech, Mr. \u00d6zel gracefully answered the audience\u2019s questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6778\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bilkentnews.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Image-1-165x109.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, April 18, the Republican People\u2019s Party\u2019s (CHP) Chairman \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel gave a speech at Bilkent.
