Dr. Gülsevin emphasized the future of Turkish language and Ural-Altaic language family as a language exhibiting development and communication with the environment within the framework of dialogues. Because Turkish is an example of an ancient language, not only influenced by different civilizations, but it is also under the influence of different civilizations. The most basic indicator of the Turkish civilization as a rich civilization is the language it has. However, we should also be aware that the fact that foreign words which are preferred in the daily use of Turkish are very serious danger. Foreign products and brands are of higher quality, while Turkish products and brands are perceived more inadequately. At this point, we must establish decisive and effective policies for the protection of our national identity.

After the conference, Dr. Gülsevin answered the questions of the audience about Turkish language from past to future.

The event was ended after our university’s vice rector Prof. Dr. Tevfik Noyan's giving certificate  to Prfo. Dr. Gürer Gülsevin.
