Rector Prof. Dr. Mehmet Sabri Çelik; "In the past years, the subject of composition was never so popular. Here, our informatics community members, university professors, CEOs and managers of institutions have very good synergies. I would like to thank Cebrail Taşkın, the President of the Informatics Society of Turkey, Rahmi Aktepe and everyone who contributed to this event. I was studying at university between 1970 and 1974. At that time, there were quite large computers at Istanbul Technical University where I studied. I was always curious about the words computer, informatics, software, hardware, computing. I learned who produced these words. Aydın Köksal, the founder of the Informatics Association of Turkey, who really produced these words, was aware of everything. Dear students, learn this job well. A 50-year-old association is a great thing for Turkey. When I came to Turkey from the US in the 1990s, computer was everywhere. A year or two later, thanks to our teacher Aydın Köksal, we started to say computer in Turkey. I would like to express my gratitude to our teacher for bringing this association to us."
