Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

In Isparta, Hisarcıklıoğlu met with the President of the Commerce and Industry Chamber Şükrü Başdeğirmen and the members of the Board of Directors. Also present during the meeting were Isparta Commodity Exchange President Ahmet Adar, Yalvaç Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Nuri Dirik and various council members as well as women and young entrepreneurs councils members.

Extending his well wishes for the elections to be beneficial for everyone, Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated Başdeğirmen and Adar, “The most beneficent of men is he who is beneficent to others.” The TOBB President said that becoming a director of a chamber or exchange is a good opportunity to help and serve people. Stating that the chambers system is the most democratic system in Turkey, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Isparta becoming rich is Turkey becoming rich. The former president also provided valuable services. May Allah bless him for his service. The Isparta Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a 5 star chamber; able to provide service quality on part with any you would find in London or Paris.”

Underlining the necessity to wake up each morning, thinking of what one can do to further serve, TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Competition is so fierce that the world has come right to our doorstep. Computers bring the whole world to your office. If you want success remember that there is grace and prosperity in unity; anguish in dissent. Birds of a feather stick together. The arguments of the election period are over. From now on, we must embrace each other. My request for you is that you stay in touch.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu urging women and young entrepreneurs to stay active, said, “The future is in the hands of women and the youth. To prosper we must increase our number of entrepreneurs. You must ensure that our women and young entrepreneurs are role models; their success stories must be retold everywhere.”
