Erdogan has answered the questions of young participants in the “Youth and Technological Meeting” programme, held in the Turkish Airspace Industry.
Asked about the World Cup favourite and the comparison between Argentina football player Lionel Messi and Ronaldos, President Erdoğan said:
I first told Germany, but it lost in the first fight and things got a little rough. All strong teams are losing. Germany lost, and so was Brazil and strange Mexico. I don't know if even after that it's going to continue this way”
Among other things Erdoğan has highlighted the three goals scored by Ronaldo in the Portugal-Spane match, which played evenly. Free “This cannot be achieved by anyone, and also performance, character, trust, and especially character in the Palestinian issue are very important. That's why I applaud”, he said.
President Erdoğan also spoke of launching satellites, stressing that by 2003 Turkey has only launched two satellites in orbit. He said that with the arrival of the AK Party in orbit, 10 satellites were launched, while 11 satellites would be launched by 2039.
