TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, in his statement regarding the October 29th Republic Day, stated that “Respect for the will of the nation is the best method of rule. Sovereignty belongs to the nation. We will never forget this; our Republic will live forever.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
stated the following in his message:
“The
Grand National Assembly of Turkey opened on April 23rd, 1920, founded
on national sovereignty. On October 29th, 1923, this form of government
was officially registered.
The
proclamation of the Republic is one of the most important and proud days of our
history.
Great
Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s statement that, ‘Sovereignty belongs unconditionally
to the nation,’ strengthened by the Republic, has been a most important value which
marked the direction of our country.
The
Republic of Turkey is the best partnership of millions united through fate in
this land. As the Turkish business world, we are also interested in new
investments, production, trade and economic growth.
I
would like it to be known that we are working with all our strength, and I
would like to remind our promise to protect and carry forward our Republic and
homeland as we promised of Atatürk and his brothers in arms.
With
these feelings and thoughts, I wholeheartedly celebrate the Republic Day of our
nation.”
