"Calligraphy is a traditional kind of art having its rules within the development of history and then governed with these definite rules. It is impossible to interfere with this art in this aspect. In addition to that it is open to all kinds of innovations in case of being devoted to general principles made by people with great experience in classical calligraphy art.  Istanbul is considered to be an international center where calligraphy had completed its development phase. That’s why we should protect old samples and restore them. I want to underline that in restoration subject one must take the advice of IRCICA, Fine Arts Faculties and acknowledged calligraphers and experts.  Calligraphy art that is increasingly developing and moving forward to regain its old glorious days has solved such problems like training, improvement and material. Our major problem is promotion of this art and its being recognized and acknowledged. Lack of knowledge brings out ignorance against art, being regarded as unimportant among other kinds of art and not to be taken serious."
