The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the 2021 UNESCO Akhi Evran Memorial Year - Akhi Evran Artisan Meeting held in Kırşehir Cacabey Square.
Speaking at the event
attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Hisarcıklıoğlu expressed his
gratitude to the Kırşehir residents who have embraced Akhi Evran's legacy.
Hisarcıklıoğlu
expressed his gratitude on behalf of his community, emphasizing that President
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who knows this trust best and is also an 'Akhi father',
has always supported the Akhism culture by preserving it.
“For us, the place of
Akhism culture is different. Because Akhism is the root of us as a community.
It is the first professional organization in the world. Many of the services we
provide to our members today are reflected in the past and the work done by the
organization to this day. Our chambers system, which forms the roof of the
private sector in the world today, is the current manifestation of the akhism
in our history.”
Pointing out that
Akhism is the first professional organization in the world, Hisarciklıoğlu
continued: “We must know and promote the Akhi culture well. Because each of these
values is indispensable for lasting success in business life. The late Neşet
Ertaş says, 'Working with love is tireless.' Today’s Akhis engage in business
in every geography of the world, proudly flying our flag around the world. May
Allah grant us the opportunity to contribute to the preservation and
development of the Akhism culture.”
