In his statement regarding April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children's Day, TOBB President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that April 23rd, the birthday of the Turkish Grand National Assembly is celebrated with great pride and joy, “We will defend the national and spiritual heritage of the Veteran, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk which states that sovereignty belongs exclusively to the nation, without reservation. April 23rd is the most beautiful expression that there exists no authority above that of the will of the nation.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu's message is as follows:
“The opening of the Turkish Grand National Assembly is, not only in our
nation's Independence War, one of the most important milestones in the journey
of the Republic of Turkey towards modern civilization.
Today we celebrate the anniversary of this beautiful day, making it even
more meaningful and understanding its value day by day.
We, as the business community, want to be able to take our country even
further in the race of civilization; we will continue to work with the
confidence and power granted to us by the republic with the goal of greater
investment and greater employment.
I celebrate our nation’s and children’s April 23rd National
Sovereignty and Children's Day with the most heartfelt feelings and sincerity.”
