In his press release regarding the Feast of Sacrifice, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that holidays gain meaning through solidarity and cooperation, expressing his wishes for a world ruled by peace and brotherhood for all people.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said
in his press release:
"The Feast of
Sacrifice expresses coming closer to Allah, submission to Him and our feelings
of gratitude. Holidays are occasions of unity and solidarity and for those who
have to share with those who don't. The true meaning of these beautiful days is
putting aside of difference and embracing each other in the spirit of
brotherhood. Holidays are the single most poignant reminder for us of love and
friendship.
It is our greatest
wish that Muslims living in various parts of the world embroiled in war and
calamity and all humanity attain a state of peace and love as well as humane
standards of living.
It is with these
feelings and thoughts that I, on behalf of the Turkish business community, wish
that the holy Feast of Sacrifice brings our great nation, the Islam world and
all humanity happiness and peace."
