Prof. Melek Çaylak, Head of Occupational Health and Safety Program, Asst. Prof. Gamze Kağan and Prof. Fahrettin Kerim and Nilüfer Gökay Nursing Home Manager Sevgi Kurt participated.

Prof. Mehmet Zelka: "The most productive years are the sixties..."

Underlining that the greatest wealth that a country can have can be expressed with its qualified manpower, Advisor to the Rector Prof. Mehmet Zelka said that "My field of economics is economics. I know this and express that 'The greatest wealth that a country can have can be expressed in its qualified manpower. An economy without manpower, no matter how rich a state is, cannot be utilized and cannot ensure its development. In scientific research conducted in this manpower, the most productive ages are the sixties. This is the result of a scientific research."

Prof. İsmail Barış: "We do not have the elderly, we have senior citizens"

Pointing out that senior citizens have handed over the trust they have received to the current generations, Advisor to the Rector Prof. İsmail Barış said that "I call you senior citizens, not elderly. Wherever I see a road, a bridge, wherever I see a Mihrimah Sultan, I always think of people with gray hair and slumped shoulders because they did it and we are living. White-haired people lived. They raised our road, our green and our sea in difficulties. They handed over the trust they received to us. That's why we do not have seniors, we have senior citizens from whom we are inspired."

Asst. Prof. Melek Çaylak: "Today is a very meaningful day..."

Drawing attention to the meaning and importance of the day, Social Services Program Head Asst. Prof. Melek Çaylak stated that "First of all, I would like to thank Prof. Fahrettin Kerim Gökay for coming to our dear elders who are guests from our nursing home today. Today is a very meaningful day. I find it very meaningful. I would also like to thank the Üsküdar University administration for their support in organizing today."

Sevgi Kurt: "The sensitivity of our young people is very important to us"

Underlining the importance of young people's sensitivity and sense of belonging, Prof. Fahrettin Kerim and Gökay Nursing Home Director Sevgi Kurt stated that "My dear elders, professors, fellow students, and fellow staff members, we are very happy to be here today. Respect for the elderly also coincided with the week of the elderly, today's program. Thank you for everything. And the sensitivity of our young people and their sense of belonging is very important to us."
