“We must overcome these days together”
President Nedret Yener shared her views on the new period during the visit; she stated that they would do great things together. Making statements regarding the coup attempt against the national will, Yener emphasized that the business world has important responsibilities during this process.
Yener said, “Our nation, acting with a sense of unity and solidarity during this process, prevented our secular democratic Republic from being overthrown. From now on, we must adopt an inclusive stance, far removed from self-serving interests. On this occasion, I pray to God for mercy for those who were martyred in the struggle for democracy, and I offer my condolences to our wounded. I hope our country will return to its rightful agenda as soon as possible; our agenda should be industry and production. To achieve this, we must overcome these days together.”
“It’s time to stand by the state and the nation”

Orhan Aydın stated: “Thanks to our President's prudent stance, the unity of our people, the support given by the opposition to uphold democracy, and the careful attitude of the press, we overcame this ordeal without suffering much more serious wounds. We must continue to be vigilant. We are a country with a long history of coups. We must protect our democracy. We must know the value of this country very well and navigate this process with a very intelligent and insightful attitude. Now is the time to stand with the state and the nation. Today, each of us is not on the side of any political view, party, or group, but on the side of our democracy. For this, we must wage our struggle for good to the end. We must protect our democracy. We overcame these challenges with the courage we inherited from Atatürk. We still carry that spirit.”
“We must produce more”
Underlining that Turkey is currently making history, President Aydın said that we are once again embracing and supporting each other. Aydın continued: “We need to stand by our State, our Nation, and our Government, and continue as one body without any dissenting voices. As industrialists, in times like these, we must focus more on our work, produce more, and grow together with our technology. I have great confidence in our companies, especially those in OSTİM. Our industrialists here will succeed. May our nation mourn this loss.”
