On the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of our Republic and the October 29 Republic Day, President of the Turkish Contractors Association (TMB) M. Erdal Eren said: “As the 102nd year of our Republic becomes a century of labor, science, hard work and solidarity, we as Turkish contractors combine our dedication to building our country with our faith in the values of the Republic; we are constructing not only buildings, but hope for future generations.”
Sharing a message for Republic Day, Eren commemorated with respect and gratitude the Founder of the Republic of Türkiye, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and all the heroes of the War of Independence. He continued: “The Republic—symbol of our nation’s rebirth—has given us not only a form of governance, but also the will to produce, advance and develop. Atatürk’s words, ‘We have no need of anything except one thing: to be hardworking,’ continue to guide our path today. As the 102nd year of our Republic turns into a century of labor, science, hard work and solidarity, we as Turkish contractors unite our efforts to develop our country with our faith in the values of the Republic; we are building not just structures, but hope for the generations to come.”
Eren underlined that, in the second century of the Republic, the Turkish Contractors Association is not only a sectoral umbrella organization but also a guiding institution that supports the country’s economic and social development. Noting that the construction industry remains the locomotive of growth by generating demand and employment across more than 200 sub-sectors of the economy, Eren added: “As the Turkish Contractors Association, we attach great importance to being a guide in every area of our sector. With this awareness, we continue our activities to add value to our country’s future in the second century of our Republic. For 73 years, we have taken pride in accompanying our Republic on its development journey, and we remain determined to elevate social progress, trust and prosperity. In the second century of our Republic, we will continue to work tirelessly with the responsibility of carrying this legacy into the future. I extend my sincerest congratulations to our nation on the October 29 Republic Day.”
