\u201cIf someone had said, ‘After 30 years, you will come to Turkey as the energy minister from this country and talk about smart grids’, I would say, ‘Sure, of course’\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
Baylan, who spent his childhood in a village without even electricity, says that when he came to Istanbul for the first time, he thought that life here was dizzying. He says that he saw electricity for the first time in Istanbul and was quite surprised.<\/div>\n\u0130brahim Baylan, who immigrated to Sweden with his family later on, says that at first he had a hard time adapting to the language and culture, but due to his young age, he could adapt to this situation more easily than his family, and continues his words as follows:<\/div>\n\n\u201cI took my chance. If I’m going back to Istanbul, I hadn’t seen anything electric yet when I first came here. And now being invited to a conference here to talk about smart grids and smart cities, I have to admit, is somewhat ironic. But on the other hand, it’s a testament to how wonderful life can be sometimes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
Expressing his longing for Mardin at every opportunity, Baylan cannot help but express how emotional it is to see that the village he left when there was no electricity now has roads, internet and of course electricity.<\/div>\n
