At the groundbreaking
ceremony of TOBB Girl Student Dormitory which will house 200 girl students,
Hisarcıklıoğlu emphasized that there is risk for every investment save for educated
and said, “I am a businessman. Investment we make has risk. You can profit and you
can lose. When you invest in education, you will never lose. The country will benefit
and so will you because investment made in humans is the greatest investment. The
biggest capital is not gold, oil or anything of the sort but educated people. The
one who knows this best is Tunceli. It shows in all general examinations. They
requested a dormitory from us and we will build it with the support given by
our governor. Hopefully,the most successful girls of Tunceli will come out of
here.”

very meaningful for us.”
