President Hisarcıklıoğlu's message is as follows;
“Dear
women entrepreneur sisters, I salute you all. As you become increasingly
involved in business, I see for myself that our country is getting stronger.
With
your achievements in every aspect of life, you show where you are and that you
deserve to go even farther. Because an economy where a woman's hand is
untouched can't grow. The mentality that leaves her out can't move forward.
That's
why we said our women can do anything. With this vision, we established our Women
Entrepreneur Councils in 81 provinces. With more than 7,000 woman entrepreneur
members now, we have become the largest women's professional organization. At
the same time, we have doubled the number of women entrepreneurs.
Our
Women Entrepreneurs Council has also brought forth a very important woman leader.
Ruhsar Pekcan has become our Trade Minister.
TOBB
and our Women Entrepreneurs Council will always stand with you moving forward.
Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to all our women who fought
day and night for themselves, their families, their countries.
I
congratulate Dünya Newspaper for bringing this beautiful event to life. Acting
with the right vision, they say that ingenuity demands compliment. At the same
time, they bring our successful women to the forefront, introduce them and make
them role models for our young people.
I
am proud of our women who have achieved great success in business, politics,
science, education, culture, art and sports. I'm proud of all of our leading
women who have been awarded the prize. I congratulate each and every one of you
and wish you continued success."
