In the ceremony of "TÜRKSAT 6A Commissioning" held at the TÜRKSAT Gölbaşı Campus, President Erdoğan made striking statements.
"TURKEY HAS RISE TO THE POSITION OF ONE OF 11 COUNTRIES"
Expressing his hope that the Türksat 6A satellite, which is a significant step for our space communication and telecommunications sectors, will bring blessings to our country and nation once again, Erdoğan stated, "With Türksat 6A, which we developed using 84 domestic equipment with an 80% local content rate, Turkey has risen to the position of one of the 11 countries that produce their own communication satellites. With these long-term efforts and technologies, we have overcome many critical thresholds in space. We have the capability and ability to produce our Türksat 6A satellite, which has the highest local content rate."
"WE WILL DO IT DESPITE THOSE WHO SAY WE CAN'T"
Continuing his remarks, Erdoğan emphasized that they did not listen to those who spread pessimism, saying, "We said we will do it, even better than that, despite those who say we can't. We never listened to those who lost hope in their own country. Without getting tired or weary, with faith, patience, and determination, we have come this far with our heads held high. I would like to thank each of our engineers from the bottom of my heart once again. Just as we have for 23 years, we will continue to turn dreams into goals and then goals into realities together, inshallah. The population reached by our satellites worldwide will rise from 3.5 billion to 5 billion. Thanks to technology transfer and experience acquisition, our country will have a significant market share in the production of satellites and components. With this revolutionary project, we have our own domestic and national satellite platform. By establishing a satellite production ecosystem with subcontractors, we have enabled many of our institutions and organizations to contribute to the space industry. Together with engineers and personnel taking active roles, we have trained human resources for satellite and space technologies."
