Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

Speaking at the program held at Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu Cultural Center, Hisarcıklıoğlu said he was honored to be in Sivas, the city of valiant people, where the fight for independence and the fire of independence were born.

“I would like to commemorate Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu, the very precious son of Sivas and my dear friend, in the 12^th year of his march to martyrdom. With his faith, patriotism, struggle, honesty and good morals, he was a true Alperen.”

Stating that it was a special and meaningful day for Sivas, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We are together on the 120^th anniversary of the founding of STSO, one of the most established institutions not only in our community, but also in our country. We should all be proud of our Chamber for the experience and dignity of 120 years, the institutional structure it has continuously strengthened, the projects it has implemented and the work it has brought to Sivas.”

Thanking STSO President Mustafa Eken and all the bodies of the Chamber for their service, Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “We should all be proud of our Chamber for the experience and dignity of 120 years, the institutional structure it has continuously strengthened, the projects it has implemented and the work it has brought to Sivas. I wish you many years of success in this 120-year oak. There's another good thing I've observed: Our governor, our mayor, the chamber and the commodity exchange are all together. They are joining hands for the development of Sivas. Here they are all thinking and working on how to bring Sivas to the forefront by holding a 'Common Sense Workshop'. So when it comes to Sivas, all Sivas are one and together. If there's unity somewhere, your back won't go down. That's the formula for being a brand city. I see the efforts to make Sivas both an industrial city, an agricultural city and a tourism city.”

- “Ankara-Sivas high-speed train line must be completed”

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that Sivas is a city that upholds its values, “I hope that the future of Sivas will be as bright as its past. For this purpose, the road connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean via Sivas must be completed. In this way, Sivas will be connected to the sea and will have the port. It will also be easier for Sivas to export. The Ankara-Sivas high-speed train line must be completed. Thus, Sivas should become the center that connects both north and south, as well as east and west.”

Governor Salih Ayhan, AK Party Sivas MP Semiha Ekinci, Mayor Hilmi Bilgin and STSO President Mustafa Eken celebrated the 120^th anniversary of the founding of the Chamber.

Plaques were given to STSO's 60 and 40 year members and tax record holders, and the 120^th anniversary cake was cut.

At the end of the program, the Antakya Civilizations Choir gave a performance.
