TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, who made a speech at the award ceremony hosted by Pasinler Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Aydın Taşbaşı, explained the historical importance of Pasinler. “The first step of the road to Malazgirt and the conquest of Anatolia was taken here,” Hisarcıklıoğlu said, adding that today one of the most fertile lands of Eastern Anatolia is the Pasinler Plain.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “You, our valuable producers, offer many products, especially potatoes, sunflowers, beets and beans, to our country and feed our country. Our chamber represents you in the best way

Today, he is doing a good job. It rewards those who add value to Pasinler, that is, the stars of Pasinler, our successful entrepreneur brothers. On this occasion, I congratulate all our companies that produce and invest in Pasinler. I am proud of our Chamber, the board of directors, council members, general secretary and all employees who represent them in the best way. We are also working with our President Aydın Taşbaşı at TOBB in Ankara. We are also with him under the management of Sarp, our customs gate to Georgia. I say may Allah be pleased with my brother Aydın, who both serves Pasinler and works for our country.”

Our Chamber and our Aydın President are also carrying out studies that add value to Pasinler, and at the same time bringing your every problem to Ankara and looking for solutions. It upholds our local values. By registering geomarkers, it takes under protection the Hasankale Flatbread, which is unique in any other. During the pandemic period, he became an interpreter for your troubles. He collected your problems and proposals. Together, we have communicated these to the government, which is in charge. We also got results from a significant part of them. A lot of support and arrangements have been implemented. But our troubles are not over, of course there are problems. We are constantly voicing these and trying to provide solutions.”
