'AKP-MHP SHOULD BE OVERTURNED'
Stating that the AKP-MHP government should be overturned. Dicle Naz Yaman emphasized that the youth should be given a word. Yaman said: "We will save the future, we are the next generation. We are psychologically worried about the future. I see the solution in giving young people the right to speak."
Hasan Basri Berker, on the other hand, stated that one of the biggest factors underlying his anxiety about the future is the education system. Berker said: "The only reason for this situation is the government. We are faced with a government that deepens inequality in all areas of life. As inequality increases in Turkey, such an education problem will increase. If politicians who see the demands of the people in this country and can respond to their demands are elected, the problems of the country will be solved."
