Oct 01, 2026

Our Board of Directors Chairman, İbrahim Çeçen, came to Ağrı to meet with students at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University. Speaking to students in the Ottoman Conference Hall about the experiences he gained during his 50-year career, İbrahim Çeçen engaged in a question-and-answer session with them following his talk, listening to their requests and concerns.

Emphasizing that despite having created many important works in Turkey and around the world, his greatest achievement is İbrahim Çeçen University—and that the light he saw in the students’ eyes reaffirmed just how right his educational efforts have been—he said, “Like you, I grew up on this country’s soil, in its neighborhoods, at a young age. When I was 17, my father sold one of our two cows and sent me to Ankara with nothing but a wooden suitcase. Today, you are much luckier than I was. The university has come right here, to your doorstep. We didn’t have these opportunities. You are our trust. Caring for you brings me as much joy as caring for my own children. You are much luckier than we were. I believe you will make the most of this opportunity. Just as we have graduated our other students, we will graduate you as well and send you off with the best of wishes.”
