President Erdoğan: Our merchants and craftsmen are the cornerstone of our country

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed merchants and craftsmen at a gathering in Ankara.

Thanking Ministry of Trade and relevant organizations that have organized the gathering, President Erdoğan said: “I see our merchants and craftsmen as cornerstones of our country and the cement of our unity and solidarity. To us, merchants are external members of our homes.”

“TURKEY’S DEVELOPMENT CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE IMPROVEMENT OF EACH OF OUR 81 PROVINCES”

Stating that Turkey’s growth is possible only with the growing of our entire nation all together with industrialists, businesspeople, merchants, farmers, workers and retirees, President Erdoğan noted: “Turkey’s development can be achieved through the improvement of each of our 81 provinces. It is neither right nor sustainable that merely a circle, a region or a province wins.” President Erdoğan further stressed that they have rendered it possible for each and every member of the Turkish nation to gain advantage from the services that they have provided and the projects that they have realized over the past 17 years.
