A book that tells the story of ascension
Perinti stressed the importance of the book prepared by the Communication Department, explaining that the defense industry represents the basis of deterrence against contemporary threats, as it is a decisive element in determining and strengthening Türkiye’s position on the international scene. He pointed out that the settlement rates in this sector today amounted to about 80%, which he considered a direct result of the accumulated efforts over the past twenty years, saying: “This number reflects the serious will of our engineers and our managers who worked with determination to achieve national sufficiency.”
He added that the vision of “Türkiye’s Century” and the national defensive in the field of technology enabled the country to achieve wide achievements, including the production of running aircraft and the national fighter, radar and air defense systems, ships, submarines, and missiles of all kinds. Thanks to this, Türkiye is ranked eleventh globally in defense industries exports.
Türkiye is an indispensable actor
In the context of his speech, Berenci explained that what Turkey achieved is not a coincidence, but rather the fruit of a long -term strategic vision, saying: “Turkey has proven its effectiveness in the field and at the negotiating table, and today it is an indispensable active to ensure the security of the region and the world.”
He stressed that his country, within the framework of the goal of “Türkiye without terrorism”, continued to fix its role internally and regionally through serious intervention to address the region’s crises and take steps towards stability. He added: “Turkey’s technological capabilities, and its strength in the defense industry in particular, constitute a fundamental factor to eliminate the hotbeds of instability, and create a space of prosperity that extends from our direct neighborhood to a wider environment. Turkey’s strength and defense industry and its army are today a source of hope and guarantee for our partners in the region.”
Türkiye’s story novel
Perritichi concluded his speech by emphasizing that the communication circle sees from the heart of its duty to tell Turkey’s story to the world in the most accurate and objective ways, noting that documenting national success stories, such as the story of defense industries, represents a motivation to stimulate more successes in other areas.
