" "We must show solidarity with the Palestinian youth"
In his speech at the summit, IFIC President Ayhan noted the importance of the summit and said: "This event is becoming a key policy element for young people who set the agenda for the coming years. I think that such events will shape the foreign policy of the countries in the future."
Ayhan stated that the IFIC attaches great importance to the education of young people and solving their current problems.
Referring to the situation in the Gaza Strip, Ayhan said: "Genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people continue. The population of Gaza is being deliberately destroyed. This is a violation of international humanitarian law. The scale of this tragedy is staggering. The silence of the world on this issue is unacceptable."
