Hisarcıklıoğlu stated in his message:

“On the 87^th anniversary of the day we bid farewell to the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, we remember him with longing, respect, and gratitude.

Under his leadership, our beloved nation achieved a heroic feat unparalleled in the world. The determination and leadership he displayed in our fight for independence, the profound changes he brought about on the path to civilization, and the light he ignited have transformed into a love that grows stronger in the hearts of our nation with each passing day.

Atatürk has made his name in history as a respected leader throughout the world, a true enlightened figure, and the voice of the oppressed. He has shown us the way forward to secure a respectable place for our nation in the modern world and entrusted our Republic to us. This trust is our greatest treasure forever.

As the Turkish business community, we will never betray Atatürk’s trust. Knowing that our most important struggle after our war of independence is for civilization and economic development, we will continue to work. 

Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his principles will live forever. We bow before his memory once again with respect. May his soul rest in peace.”
