The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB), President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, participated in the Council Members Information Seminar.
In his speech here,
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the seminar was an important opportunity to inform
the council members about the structure and activities of TOBB and made
recommendations for the newly elected council members. M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu
emphasized that TOBB is the institution where democracy works the most, and
that the members of the council are elected, not appoined, and said, “The most
difficult election is ours. For 4 years, it is the hardest job to ask for votes
from your rival with whom you fight for bread.”
- “You are in a place to be useful to people”
Stating that there is
no money in these jobs, TOBB President said that they sacrifice their jobs,
homes and friends. Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “You are exactly where you will be
useful to people. If you want to contribute to your province and district, your
positions are a great opportunity. Do not forget that the best of people is the
one who is beneficial to people.”
Emphasizing unity and
solidarity, Hisarcıklıoğlu asked the council members not to marginalize each
other and to accept differences.
