The artist accompanied by whirling dervishes stated in the concert that man is consisted of emotions, said, "Everything gains speed as in the third salute in Mevlevi whirling with the rhythm, excitement and the burning sensation with manifestation of love, and makes higher sounds. The cry of love is at its highest. Here, we tried to express the love of Yunus Emre as part of the service caravan of this beautiful Enstitü bearing the name of Yunus Emre. It is the love of our master, the Glorious Prophet. It is the love that manifests when Heavenly Father watches himself.  We came out on stage with this love, and with a fast, constructive, cheerful understanding of repertoire.”

Ahmet Özhan pointed to the present situation of the Islamic world and spoke as follows: “There is a contradiction when we put together the Islamic lifestyle God deemed suitable for us, and today's Islam world with references to Muslims. Unfortunately this is a fact. Muslims must be a step ahead at all times. I hope things will return to their former state in the Ottoman period as soon as possible. This is what we believe in, work towards and pray for. "
