The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Councilor Briefing Seminar. Hisarcıklıoğlu gave a message of unity and solidarity to council members in his speech and said, “Never alienate each other.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
emphasized that council members come to office by election rather than by
appointment. “Ours is the most difficult election. It is hardest to ask for
votes from your rival for four years.”
Stating
that these positions are not for profit, TOBB President said that everyone's
aim is to make the city where they live more prosperous.
Emphasizing
unity and solidarity, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “In unity there is prosperity and
grace; anguish in dissent. We won't fight. As one, we win. When we're in
trouble, we stand together; but when it gets a little better, the unity disappears.
We should not do this.”
Stating
that he is hopeful for the future, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that merchants and
industrialists will never be hopeless. “Never alienate each other. A special
request from you; Please your daughters with an entrepreneurial spirit. Support
young people in entrepreneurship. Remember that the path to prosperity is
through entrepreneurship.”
