President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described 2023, the
centennial of the Republic of Türkiye, as the beginning of a new
era for Türkiye’s development, vowing to enter the country among
the top 10 economies in the world, Trend reports citing Hurriyet Daily
News.
“We are determined to turn the second century of our country
into the era of progress with our [vision of] Century of Türkiye,”
Erdogan said at the inauguration of the Amasya-Badal Tunnel in
western Anatolia through a video message on Jan. 19.
The year 2023 will mark a new beginning for the development of
the Republic of Türkiye, Erdogan said, vowing his government will
continue to serve the nation just the way it has been doing in the
past 20 years.
“The achievements we made in the past 20 years through the
policies we have been following give us a fresh responsibility. We
have to protect all these achievements, which we gained by exerting
great efforts,” Erdogan stressed.
This is important for Türkiye to continue its ambitious plans to
become one of the top 10 economies and even rank in the first
places, Erdoğan said, vowing the Century of Türkiye will allow this
country to have its influence in the global decision-making
processes. “We should do it, or else we may miss this historic
opportunity,” he noted.
The government is working hard to turn the global crises into
new opportunities for Türkiye’s development, and 2023 will be
registered in history with honor and glory, Erdogan stressed.
“In the past, we were trying to resolve our own crisis.
Nowadays, however, we are being followed with envy as a country
that is turning the global crises into opportunities,” Erdogan
noted, underlining that both the people and the state are
celebrating the centennial of the republic with great excitement,
big projects and hopes.
“All our citizens can set their order in the places they are
living, realizing their own dreams and looking future with hope. We
are happy to be able to fulfill the infrastructure needs of our
transportation on land, in the air and at sea to a great
extent.”
