Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu emphasized that the government has provided significant supports for employment and emphasized that they’ve employed a million new people in 4 months.
TOBB President M.
Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, stated that Turkey's passing through a difficult time,
said, “If what happened to Turkey happened to another country, it would come
crumbling down and would not recover. We have experienced a lot of events,
including coup attempts. Our economy was adversely affected, but by the end of
the year we came to the point of growth again. In this process we were met with
great understanding by our government. We are doing our part, too. The state
pays 3 months' salary for new workers'. 3 months later, the state pays taxes and
insurance for 9 months. So apart from net minimum wage all costs are paid by the
state. This is a historic support for employment. We employed a million new
people in just 4 months. Elazığ has pretty much fulfilled its promise. At the
end of the year, we will all have fulfilled our promises. Attractions are a
great opportunity and we must promote hem. This is a good opportunity in Elazığ
as well. As TOBB, we are utilizing the sources we have accumulated and
resources we have received from you, to aid our members in their difficult times
as low-interest loans, hence the ‘Respite Credit’. You can use it now.”

exchange offer services on par with the standards of any to be found in London
or Paris. Hisarcıklıoğlu also explained that, success and prosperity is only
possible through the unity and solidarity of the city. Hisarcıklıoğlu stated
that there are no monetary rewards in the office of the presidency, but rather
that these seats demand great sacrifice instead. He stated that they’ve set out
on their journey with the maxim “the most beneficent of people beneficent to
others” that this remains their purpose.
