Hisarcıklıoğlu, touching on the Tokat’s historical importance, said, “Tokat is home to more historical artifacts than some countries have to their name. Bringing these to light will bring great prosperity. Niksar and Tokat await promotion to this end.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “As TOBB President, I am particularly proud of two things. One is that we have brought entrepreneurship into the mainstream in Turkey. The other is that I lead the largest women entrepreneurs’ organization in the world. There are approximately 7,000 women entrepreneurs organized within TOBB in the 81 provinces. Tokat has young and women entrepreneurs. Hopefully a part of them will be together as a part of our program. The most important factor for Tokat to draw in people is entrepreneurship. This is already a part of Tokat’s spirit and culture. My one request of you is that you look out for women and young entrepreneurs, enabling them to be role models for the women and young entrepreneurs of tomorrow.”
