First of all, I would like to express here once again that we reject all coups, whether in the past or in the present. As you may remember, a declaration numbered 168 was recently published. The Ramadan directive sent by our Ministry of National Education to schools is available to our children who want it. "It was prepared for the purpose of experiencing the joy of Ramadan, remembering Allah and the Prophet, and not forgetting the true values of our nation.

“KIRŞEHIR IS ON THE WAY TO BECOME THE PRODUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL CENTER OF TURKEY”

AK Party Kırşehir Deputy Necmettin Erkan, drawing attention to the importance of Kırşehir in the economic and industrial fields, continued his words as follows:

"Turkey is going through a strong transformation process in every field, from security to economy, from production to industry. The Turkey Century vision, put forward under the leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, turns not only big cities but also Anatolian cities into production centers. At this point, Kırşehir's place is very valuable. Kırşehir is taking firm steps towards becoming one of the important centers with its organized industrial zone, which has been growing for three periods, increasing defense industry investments, production power in livestock and transportation projects. The business people of the city, "Industrialists and non-governmental organizations also play a critical role in the development process. Therefore, these unity efforts carried out shoulder to shoulder by the state, federations and industrialist and businessmen's associations have an invaluable value not only for Kırşehir but throughout the country. The solidarity and support displayed by coming together in this hall today carries not only a geographical area but the whole of Turkey to a stronger future."

“THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION IN OUR CULTURE”
KIRSİAD President Levent Akçakoca also said:

"The month of Ramadan is not just a period of time when we fast. Ramadan is an exceptional month where sharing, solidarity, compassion and brotherhood come together. Meeting at the same table shows once again that one of the strongest values of our people coming from different lands is the culture of being together. In our culture, there is unity, affection, there is no separation. Today, I am speaking here as the President of KIRSİAD. However, as a member of our Ankara Chamber of Industry, we also bear the responsibility of our business world. These two identities are separate from each other. "I don't see it, because we have to bring together both citizen solidarity and industrial vision in line with the same goal, with an understanding that produces, provides employment, gives confidence and adds value to society."

“What TURKEY NEEDS IS A ASSURABLE ECONOMY”
Expressing that economic growth cannot be measured only with numerical data, Akçakoca said, "Real development is possible with trust, solidarity, common sense and ethical business understanding. At this point, one of the strongest values that connects us to our roots is Ahiism. Ahiism is a deep-rooted understanding of civilization that bases quality in trade, observes justice in society and puts human relations at the center. Ahiism taught us the basis of this centuries ago. Because what Turkey needs most is; producing added value, providing employment, providing each other with "It is a strong business world that trusts and acts together.
