In his Fathers’ Day message, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Supporting his children through self-sacrifice throughout his whole life, a paragon of devotion, fathers are people of wise character who put their children’s needs before their own.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his message:

“Supporting his children through self-sacrifice throughout his whole life, a paragon of devotion, fathers are people of wise character who put their children’s needs before their own.

The love in their hearts is given freely; nurturing their children with such care as that given to a sapling, fathers make every effort to ensure that children look to the future with hope; that children feel the love of the people and the nation; that they are rewarding members of their families.

It is our country’s duty to ensure that their efforts do not go to waste; that they are shown the proper respect, for the sake of our country’s future. That is the best present we can give our fathers.

It is with these thoughts and feelings that I, on behalf of the Turkish business community, celebrate Fathers’ Day of all fathers, especially those of martyrs.”
