140 out of 193 UN member states are in Turkey to take part in the 11th Turkish Olympics

Bursa (AA) - Among 193 member states of the United Nations (UN) are 140 to take part in the 11th Turkish Olympics in Turkey.

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc participated in the Bursa leg of the11th Turkish Olympics and Culture Festival on Friday.

Speaking at the festival which was attended by students from 16 different countries in Turkey's northwest province of Bursa, Arinc said 193 member states of the UN could not end the ongoing conflict in Syria for three years but the Turkish Olympics did adding "One of the 140 countries in Turkey to take part in the Turkish Olympics is Syria."

Students taking part in the Olympics come from around the world to sing songs and recite poems in Turkish, said Arinc.

Arinc said the theme of 2013 Turkish Olympics was " universal peace".

"This is a festival offering peace and love we have been longing for. What is happening in Syria is a great tragedy. Thousands of people were killed and more than one million had to flee the country. If there is an 'alliance of civilizations' then we can achieve peace, dialogue and tolerance and people take each other as they come. The Turkish Olympics have achieved peace. These young people coming from Asia, America, Africa, Europe and speaking our language promise a new world to us," said Arinc.

The Turkish Olympics have been organized since 2003.

Turkish Olympics continued on Sunday with performances in four provinces

Ankara
The 11th Turkish Olympics, organized by International Turkish Association (TURKCEDER), continued on Sunday with programs in the Black Sea region provinces of Trabzon and Karabuk, and also in Isparta and Adana in the Mediterranean region.

Sixty students coming from Turkish educational institutions in 20 countries participated at the events, singing songs and reciting poetry that find their place in Turkish literature and popular culture, as well as performing folk dance shows.

Turkish Minister of Environment and City Planning Erdogan Bayraktar said the Olympics have now become a passion in the way of supporting steps towards global peace.

"We (as the historic Turkish nation) once taught the world peace, brotherhood and civilization. We didn't exploit states and peoples like other major powers," Bayraktar said.

"Today, the whole world wants brotherhood, peace and tranquility to prevail. Such organizations will help in ending the oppression people suffer in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and in various places the world over."

Bayraktar thanked the teachers and volunteers that "have roved the earth for over twenty years, teaching the Turkish language in 140 countries."

In the Karabuk leg of the Turkish Olympics, Justice and Development (AK) Party Deputy Chairman Mehmet Ali Sahin said he was exhilarated that the organization, which he has followed since its inception eleven years ago, took place in his hometown Karabuk and thanked the organizers and contributors.

"We listened to our folk songs sung by children coming from various countries in the world, and even watched folk dances," Sahin said. "It was very touching."

"Architects of universal love and peace"

Isparta Governor Memduh Oguz, in his remarks at the program there, compared his city with Mecca, Madina and Jerusalem, all held sacred in the Islamic religion, saying that those cities were "reputable", while Isparta was "responsible" as a center of knowledge.

"The world will one day be looking at Turkey, as Turkey will be looking at Isparta," he said.

In the Adana leg, Avni Cos, the city governor, said he watched the performing children in admiration.

"These children will be the architects of universal love and peace," Cos said. "The more their number increases in fine educational institutions all around the world, the more quickly universal peace will be established and the more lasting it will be."
