In a statement by TOBB regarding the armed assault on Osmaniye Chamber of Commerce and Industry during which Deputy Chairman Hasan Ersoy lost his life while Chairman Devrim Murat Aksoy was wounded on July 3rd, it was stated, “We extend our condolences to the Osmaniye business community. We also hope for a speedy recovery for Devrim Murat Aksoy.”
The TOBB statement is as follows:
“TOBB Chairman Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, Turkey-EU Joint Consultative Committee
Turkey Wing visited Osmaniye on the day of the incident together with NGOs. Visiting
Osmaniye Governor Ömer Faruk Coşkun at his office, they received information
about the attack, followed by a visit to Osmaniye CCI Chair Devrim Murat Aksoy
injured in the attack. Afterwards a condolatory visit was made to the family
members of Osmaniye CCI Vice Chair Hasan Ersoy who lost his life during the
attack.
This treacherous attack deeply upset the Turkish business world, TOBB
and Chamber-Exchange community. The fact that the TOBB and Chamber-Exchange
community has stood by the Osmaniye CCI immediately following the incident shows
the unity and cohesion of our community in the most meaningful and strong way.
We, TOBB and the Chamber of Commodity Exchange community, condemn this
treacherous attack. We are closely following the investigation carried out
under the coordination of the Chief Public Prosecutor of Osmaniye. We believe
that justice will be served. We are assured those who perpetrated this treacherous
attack to receive their due punishment.”
