Addressing the 6th Ordinary Congress of AK Party’s Youth Branches, Erdoğan said: “Conquest without a dream leads to barbarity, statesmanship without a dream to dictatorship, knowledge without a dream to catastrophe, arts without a dream to disappointment. We devote our dreams, goals, lives and efforts to serving Allah’s will and to the nation.”
Advising the young participants of the congress to dream and to pursue their dreams, Erdoğan said: “Conquest without a dream leads to barbarity, statesmanship without a dream to dictatorship, knowledge without a dream to catastrophe, arts without a dream to disappointment. We devote our dreams, goals, lives and efforts to serving Allah’s will and to the nation.”
“Once we began to dream again, we started to see our true strength”
Warning the crowd against those, trying to prevent them from having dreams, to usurp their beliefs and energy, Erdoğan said: “Unfortunately, they had managed to stall us for a long time. Once we began to dream again, the smokescreen around us started to dissipate and we started to see our true strength.”
“As long as you try to raise yourselves to the best of your abilities and realize our nation’s dreams, you will face people trying to stop that from happening. However, nothing can escape beliefs, resolve, determination and perseverance combined with faith,” Erdoğan said.
