This is my 9th visit to Erzurum as President. I haven’t been here in the last 3 years. I observed while traveling that there is a very extraordinary change in Erzurum in comparison to 3 years ago. I believe that Erzurum has a very bright future. Where snow seemed to be a burden, now it is a blessing. Erzurum is lucky in this regard, and so is Turkey.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu thanked Mayor Öztürk for his support of the Turkish private sector, “If Turkey is going to get richer today, it will be with the private sector. I would like to thank all the governmental institutions who recognize this fact.
