The first of the Experience Sharing Meetings organized by our university together with the Consulate General of Kazakhstan was held with the participation of Mr. Baghdad Amreyev, the former secretary general of the Organization of Turkic States and the current President of the Turkic Investment Fund.
The Experience Sharing Meetings event started with the opening speech of Rector Prof. Dr. Abdulhamit Avşar. Prof. Dr. Avşar summarized an article written by Mr. Amreyev as he left his position as the general secretary of the Organization of Turkic States and emphasized that Mr. Amreyev is an important diplomat for the Turkic world and that what he did for the Organization of Turkic States was of great importance.
Baghdad Amreyev, who then took the floor, started his speech by thanking Prof. Dr. Avşar. Stating that he is happy to be at Istanbul Ticaret University, Ambassador Mr. Amreyev said that especially as the Turkic Investment Fund, they attach great importance to the economic, commercial and cultural academic experience of Istanbul Ticaret University. Mr. Amreyev emphasized that they would be happy to carry out joint activities with Istanbul Ticaret University.
Mr. Amreyev then shared his experiences with the participating students and told them that the period between the ages of 17 and 25 is very important and advised them to have a good time during their student years. Stating that the knowledge gained during this period cannot be obtained in the future, Mr. Amreyev emphasized that the time devoted to learning and studying will be limited after getting a job, and therefore the student period should be made good use of.
Underlining that Kazakhstan can live and progress without China and Russia, Mr. Amreyev stated that Kazakhstan and the member states of the Organization of Turkic States will always remain incomplete without Türkiye and the Turkic world. Mr. Amreyev advised students to always keep relations with the Turkic states alive when they start business life and have a say in their countries’ administration.
Mr. Amreyev also touched upon the importance of the Organization of Turkic States and the role of Kazakhstan within the Organization. Ambassador Mr. Amreyev underlined that six of the seven institutions within the Organization of Turkic States were materialized after being proposed by Kazakhstan.
