The President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Alaattin Tuncay Special Awards Ceremony organized by the Erzincan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said that the chamber and the commodity exchange are accredited organizations. Stating that these organizations provide 5-star service, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “My chamber and commodity exchange in Erzincan, both of them provide accredited five-star service. In this context, I would like to thank my chamber and commodity exchange presidents, my fellow members of the council, our secretary general and all our brothers for providing five-star service to our members. The chamber and the commodity exchange interpret the problems of their members and make every effort to solve their problems. They are working with great determination for the development and enrichment of Erzincan.”

TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu, explaining that they contributed to the registration of Türkiye's first geographically marked tulum cheese in Europe, said: “Erzincan tulum cheese, which is one of Türkiye's first geographically marked products, which is also the first geographically marked cheese of our country, is now in Europe. Erzincan tulum cheese is in the process of registration and we will hopefully have a registered product in Europe with our contribution. Thus, it will be recognized in Europe, its sales will increase, and both our producers and entrepreneurs will earn more.”

Emphasizing that no one should be marginalized because of their beliefs, thoughts and ethnic origin, Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “Do not marginalize anyone because of their ethnic origin, sect, religion and belief, different political views, different thoughts. The more we marginalize, the more we lose. Don't exclude each other because you think differently. We can solve issues through dialog and common sense. If we cannot do this, we will be the losers. In this context, I ask you, please do not see each other as the other. Our diversity is our richness. Nations that do this win. As a nation, there is something I have seen in all social events, including the 1992 Erzincan earthquake, earthquake, fire, flood disaster, even when I was not the president of the union of chambers. As a nation, we know very well how to act as one and together when we are in trouble. We know how to share the pain.”

Erzincan Governor Hamza Aydoğdu stated that an important deficiency of Erzincan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which has a new service building, has been eliminated and said, “Giving is the most difficult task, even though it seems easy. I believe it is a blessing of Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty does not give to everyone. I think this is a matter of fortune, we need to see it like that. Let's do good in every possible way. Let us always do good with all our possible strength, wherever possible, whenever possible, for everyone possible, for as long as possible.”

Following the speeches, tax record holders who ranked in the income tax and corporate tax in the city were given their awards.
