Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

Prior to the meeting, PTT General Manager Kenan Bozgeyik presented Hisarcıklıoğlu with stamps printed in his name.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his speech here that the whole world has changed and said: “For example, the cars we know are changing. Fossil fuel-driven car production is ending. Everything in the new world is now electric. Trading is changing. Brick-and-mortar shops are ending. Even if we don't see it, this is how the next generation is doing things. Where? Online. That’s were stores are opening. This is world trade. What's the advantage of this? The advantage is that if we sell any goods in Ankara, we can reach Ankara or its surroundings. Online, you could be selling goods to some village in Australia or Peru, both at the same time."

Hisarcıklıoğlu said that PTT, with a great visionary approach, provides the opportunity to open a shop and delivery of the product to an address. Hisarcıklıoğlu thanked PTT for their pioneering work in opening the horizon of Turkish merchants and industrialists.

Congratulating the Ankara Chamber of Commerce President and the management for their work to announce this visionary approach to a wider audience, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Ankara is Turkey's second-largest city in the trade. The Chamber of Commerce is now open to all Ankara merchants with its 130,000 members. This board, headed by President Gürsel, presents us with a platform where all the problems can be solved. I also thank them.”

Stating that there are always state officials or historically significant people on stamps, Hisarcıklıoğlu said that it is the first time he has received a postage stamp in his name and thanked PTT General Manager Bozgeyik.
