Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

Stating that the Fırat Development Agency is one of the most successful development agencies, TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated the Secretary General of the Fırat Development Agency Fethi Altunyuva and said that the works they do here were good deeds.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “I feel pride in your successes. Success is achieved through unity and solidarity.”

Stating that the development agency first needs to promote regional goods, the TOBB President said that chambers and exchanges need to work together during the patenting and branding process of these goods.

Stating that almost every province in Turkey has a cheese unique to itself, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “The variety of cheeses we have is vast. But when you talk about cheese in the world France is the name that comes up. Compare French cheese and ours, ours taste better. However we have not made ours into brands. What we sell for 1 TL they sell for a 100. This is how riches accumulate. We need to make our cheeses into brands like France.

Fırat Development Agency Secretary General Fethi Altunyuva stated that they have been active in the region for two years and that their main goal is the development and advancement of the region.

Emphasizing unity and solidarity, Altunyuva said that they are working to have the people of the region work together and bring forth the prosperity of the region.
