The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the opening of the Çerkezköy Industrial Fair, which was organized in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Çerkezköy and the Thracia Development Agency and held online due to the pandemic this year.
In his opening speech, Hisarcıklıoğlu expressed
his pleasure that Çerkezköy, one of Turkey's major industrial centers, works
and produces with determination, despite the global epidemic.
Stating that Çerkezköy continues to make a name
for itself by revealing the best products at the virtual fair, Hisarcıklıoğlu
said, “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our producers,
industrialists, entrepreneurs and employees, contributing to the advancement of
our city with value-added products, branding the name of Çerkezköy. I wish
success to all our companies which have signed on to this success and opened a
stand for our fair.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated Çerkezköy CCI President
Süleyman Kozuva and those who contributed to the implementation of this
important fair by moving it online.
Stating that, throughout this troubled process,
TOBB is in the field and continues to work, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Thanks to our
Chamber-Commodity Exchange Presidents, our members have been in constant
consultation, collected their problems and demands. They’ve passed it on to us.
Your voice and representative under the direction of TOBB, together with
Tekirdağ CCI President Mr. Cengiz Günay, we conveyed all this to our President
and Ministers. Our government has implemented many of these. Provided KGF
supports, deferred tax and SSI contributions, lowering the various financial
burdens on us, ensured the standing of our real sector. After that, together
with my Chamber-Commodity Exchange Presidents, we continue to make your voice
heard and be an interpreter for their troubles.”

said, stating that he agreed to stand by them and offer support for the
activities of the businessmen.

economy.
