In Nicosia for the Cyprus Chambers Summit, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu gave out books as report card presents to the students of the Hala Sultan Religious College which TOBB built dormitories for.
Necip Fazıl Kısakürek’s “Radiance
Upon the Desert” prestige edition was gifted by Hisarcıklıoğlu to the children
amid much cheering and a joyous environment.
Speaking at the ceremony which
took place at the school yard, TOBB President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stressed the
importance of a name for schools.
Pointing out that Hala Sultan was
the Prophet’s (PBuH) adopted aunt and had traveled to Cyprus for its conquest,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We wanted to present with a book which talks about the
life of our Prophet in an eloquent manner on the last day of school. This book
is one of the masterpieces of the great master of the Turkish language Necip
Fazıl Kısakürek.”
Emphasizing that the book is one
which they can refer to during any stage of their lives Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Dear
children, the mannerisms of our Prophet, His words and ethics are the greatest
inheritance he has left us. We must make these the central tenets of our lives.
This book will act as a guide in this regard.”
The School Principal İsmail Kaşot
said, “It is very joyous to have the TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu with us, who
is very precious for us and has given us great hope. This is an institution of
the utmost importance for us. That is why this is a very happy occasion for us.”
Kaşot went on: “We will not
forget this gracious gesture at the end of the term by President Hisarcıklıoğlu.
I would like to extend my gratitude to him for all he has done for us.
We strive to derive maximum
benefit from each contribution in order to give more to the education of our
children. That is why we will never forget the contributions of the TOBB
President”.
Emphasizing the importance of Necip
Fazıl as a poet and writer, İsmail Kaşot said, “I hope that our children will
learn much from this book during the summer.”

Board Vice President Halim Mete, TOBB Presidential Council Member Faik Yavuz,
Gaziantep Chamber of Industry Chairman Adil Konukoğlu
