It is my greatest wish to be able to serve fully in this capacity.”
TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the ceremony held in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Kayseri Chamber of Commerce.

- Each province has a treasure of its own
Stating that Kayseri holds a great place in his life, Hisarcıklıoğlu said that the fact that the city is known as one of commerce and industry has great and inspiring stories behind it.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “I have always been of the opinion that each corner of this country, each province has a treasure of its own. What is important is to be able to mobilize these treasures, to raise awareness of them.
I will prosper as long as my brothers in Edirne, Van and Erzurum prosper and know peace.
Our unity and solidarity is our greatest driving force. I extend my gratitude to the Kayseri Chamber of Commerce and my fellow Kayseri townsmen for the title of Townsman of the Year.”
