Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu and TOBB General Assembly President Erdal Bahçıvan wrote the following in the Anıtkabir Memorial Ledger:

“Great Leader Atatürk,

As the executives and delegates of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye, we are here before you before our 81^st General Assembly.

As the Turkish business world, we have set ourselves the goal of investing more and working with all our strength in order to create jobs and livelihood opportunities for all our citizens, to increase our welfare level and our level of development.

We are aware of our duties and tasks. Our private sector has never lost its entrepreneurial spirit and has never reduced its appetite for trade and investment. This energy is the greatest support of our strong belief in the future.

Dear Atatürk,

The Independence Struggle, which was carried out under your leadership, with your comrades-in-arms and our great nation, and our Republic established afterwards, is the most meaningful and valuable heritage for us.

It is also our charge to preserve our Republic forever and carry it to future generations.

Your trust is our honor, our greatest treasure. It will endure forever.

On behalf of our community, we commemorate with reverence and gratitude all those who contributed to the establishment of our Republic and brought it to this day, and all those who put their lives on the line.

May your soul rest in peace.”
