COSTA RICA’S NON-MILITARY PRACTICES IN CORRELATION WITH GANDHI’S NONVIOLENCE AND PEACEFUL RESILIENT
“While countries keep enhancing military budget, Costa Rica has gone for over 70 years without an army.
Living in peace and relying on international agreements as its only means of defense, while dedicating larger portions of available public resources, not to prepare for war, but to enhance minds through an ever increasing public education program, to protect bodies by means of a universal health care system, and to protect and strive to assure an ecologically balanced environment.”
Delivered at: “In a Gentle way, you can shake the world” Mahatma Gandhi – The Man of Millennium Event

“If we care about advancing human development, if we care about equality, if we care about achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, then we need to run this race together—because when you want to go fast, go alone, when you want to go far, go together.” How far do we want to go?”

I am honored to be here as a contemporary author of modern Turkey where great leader Atatürk introduced secularism, ninty one years ago.
I feel so lucky to have grown up in Atatürk’s Turkey, and also in a family where girls, for generations, had been raised as praised individuals with rights to study, to choose their way of life, to choose their husbands with whom they stood beside with love all the way. Those women were strong and brave and they set a great example for me.
