The President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu participated in the Council Members Information Seminar.
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated
that TOBB and chambers/chambers of commerce are the most democratic
institutions in Türkiye and said that the members of the council are elected,
not appointed. Emphasizing that the members are the opinion leaders of the
provinces and districts, he said that the entrepreneur is a person who comes
from scratch, takes risks, dreams, sets goals, loses, wins and that is why they
are strong.
Emphasizing that there
is no money in these jobs, Hisarcıklıoğlu said that they sacrifice their jobs,
homes and friends. Hisarcıklıoğlu explained that these positions are
opportunities for the hereafter and that the best of people is the one who is
beneficial to others. Hisarcıklıoğlu advised the members of the council to
explain every work they do and inform the members.
Emphasizing unity and
solidarity, the TOBB President asked the council members not to alienate each
other and to love each other regardless of their political views, sect,
ethnicity or religion.
