“The Internet is also used as one of the platforms for spreading extremist ideas,” Nasser added.
“While making various statements, extremists attract the socially vulnerable layers of the population.”
“Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to education, as it can play the role of a bridge among people,” Nasser said.
“Around 1.8 billion young people live in the world,” he added. “We must be closer to them and do our best for their well-being.”
