00:44There is this education problem that they should address, or regardless of whether they

01:13should address, or regarding poverty, there is unemployment, they should first of all

01:17address this, because youth is having a mental illness problem.

01:21So they should particularly, first of all, they should focus on this unemployment issue.

01:26Because our youth will go to Dubai, they come from outside, they are less educated like us,

01:33they are less educated, they get a job.

01:36Whoever is coming, they are coming from outside.

01:43There is an atmosphere here, in the last 75 years, that there is no room left.

02:06As far as the government is concerned, whether it is today's government or before that,

02:32Maybe we will not be able to do this in front of the foreign ministers.

02:36We will be our own ministers, we can tell them in our own way.
