We will be seeing the most successful architects and designers of our country in the coming days. I would like to congratulate such successful students.”
He said that they withheld no sacrifices for Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, and from the very beginning, the faculty did a good job with many achievements. President Demirtaş mentioned that students and lecturers came back from contests with many awards. "They asked for a new building. They said they wanted to do a project. Our building is an anonymous project developed by students and lecturers. It cost an arm and a leg. We spent 25 million TL. Contractors asked 1 million TL for a green wall. But we managed to get it for a one forth less the price thanks to the project developed by our lecturers and students. We have endless achievements. I can claim myself the happiest man on earth,” stated President Demirtaş.
