MOSCOW, April 22 (Bernama-TASS) -- Necmeddin Bilal Erdogan, son of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President of the World Ethnosport Confederation, has said he has no intention of entering politics, expressing a firm preference for pursuing educational and civil society initiatives instead.
"I don't have any political ambitions," Erdogan told TASS news agency in an interview.
"I get this question a lot, but I would like to remain in the non-governmental space, leading civil society, inspiring youth to take up issues that they feel strongly about.
“Whatever career they choose, if they feel strongly about a social issue, they should be in civil society -- be an activist, be a defender of values."
Erdogan noted that he dedicates most of his time to educational work involving schools, universities, scholarship programmes, and academic awards.
"I support the best and the brightest to achieve their goals and dreams, and also the revival and preservation of culture, to pass on our heritage to the next generation. This is what I want to spend my life doing," he said.
