In such a meaningful year when we celebrate the 95th anniversary of our University, which was established by the request of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the great leader of the Turkic World, having a "Turkic World Application and Research Center" has been a valuable gift for all members of our University.

For his support and contributions in the establishment of this Center, which we want to exist for years, our rector Prof.Dr. First of all, I would like to thank Musa Yıldız. In particular, our dean of Gazi Faculty of Education Prof.Dr. I would also like to thank Mahmut Selvi, the esteemed teachers and administrative staff and dear students of Gazi University, who have expressed that they will stand by our center and our work, who have embraced it with the words "Our Center", whose hearts beat with the love of "Turkishness".

With the power it receives from you, "Gazi University Turkic World Application and Research Center" begins its activities with the call "Ne mutlu Türküm Diyene" to every geography where Turks live, or bear their traces, where they share their grief and joy on earth...

Prof.Dr. Alev Çakmakoğlu KURU

Director of Gazi University Turkic World Application and Research Center
