Considering the qualifications of people who had to leave Turkey for various reasons, most of them are university graduates and have professions such as teachers, doctors, lawyers. I know they all want to use their talents for Finland. I think that if many people are given the opportunity, they will do very important services to Finland like my brother Buğrahan. Our brother Buğrahan has great potential, and our other children are on the same path. I’m sure we’ll hear about other successes soon.”
Oymak stated that he continues training and, preparing for the Finland Open, which will be held in November, and that his goal is to be a champion.
