Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Ali Bahar and Assembly Speaker Ahmet Öztürk visited the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu at his office with their delegation.
At the reception, TOBB
President Hisarcıklıoğlu wished success for the new term efforts and conveyed
his good wishes.
Ali Bahar, in his
statement after the visit, gave the following opinions: “We went through a very
difficult election process in Antalya. We worked hard and thankfully we came
here as the President with our Board of Directors, with our Presidential
Council. This is a very proud and happy event for us. But now our election is
over. There is no longer a competitor. There is no longer a battle of colors.
Now, by removing all those colors and fulfilling the duty of service expected
from us in peace, the most profound feeling for us is to fulfill the service
expected from our tradesmen, merchants, industrialists, and first and foremost
our members, and to leave the election behind. We look forward to working.
We're excited about it. Today, our meeting with Mr. Hisarcıklıoğlu was very
good. Our president welcomed us with his usual warmth and hospitality. We had
already worked with our President because of our past duties. I know from the
past how much useful work he has done for the country, for our members.
Therefore, we have seen here that we will work in harmony with the new task we
have taken in the new term. Our president has always given us this hope. He
gave us hope for the future. There will be an election of our President next
May. We stand by our President. We are with you until the end. After the
election process is over, we will continue to be useful to our country together
with our President.”
