2nd Bangla Olympiad - The Speech of the Ambassador of Turkey, H.E. Mr. Vakur Erkul

We just appreciate and I am sure that also the children will appreciate to be able to talk in their own language. We surely know that scientific research has revealed that to be able to learn foreign languages you firstly have to learn your own language. So learning Bangla properly is quite essential for being able to speak English, Turkish or whatever. So therefore I would like to also congratulate the Principal of Turkish Hope School, Mr. Bayram Saatci, as well as the teachers of this school because they all, as I see have made a wonderful work for teaching Bangla to Bangladeshi children. I am not able to understand Bangla, when you get as older as me it is difficult to learn, but nevertheless children get it like the sponges into themselves. And as told, this school is also one of the good and brilliant institutions, as I see, the graduates of the school managed to go to the Ivy League schools in the United States, to the well-known universities of Great Britain and also to the universities of many other countries. So thank you again for all the good deeds to the teachers and also to the parents who have given their children to the school who have done a wonderful choice as you see. I just had the opportunity to talk to the Chairman of Bangladesh Freedom Fighters Council and he just mentioned that his daughter was a graduate of this school and was going to study in the USA. Well we have a living example here what the school can do. Again congratulations. Hopefully the next year we will come again here to hear the wonderful artistic deliberations of the students of this school.
