In his October 29th Republic Day holiday, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “The form of government in which the will of the nation is dominant is the most suitable for the century we are in. The Republic, inherited from our ancestors, will be the best guide for our children in progressing to a brighter future.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu's statement is as follows:

“We are celebrating the 94th anniversary of our Republic with great pride and joy. The Republic founded by the Veteran, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his brothers-in-arms following the Great War of Independence as the masterpiece of great faith and vision against all odds, will be protected by future generation with the same sensitivity and care. As on July 15th, no treacherous attempt will hurt this sacred treasure.

Let us not forget; respect for the will of the nation is the greatest virtue. The Republic of Turkey is the most beautiful partnership of the millions who have fought together in this land.

On behalf of the Turkish business community, I celebrate this meaningful day and I want to be an interpreter once more to the sentiments of our people: Long live the Republic!”
