That is why we cannot boast of the successes of only Istanbul, Ankara, Kocaeli, Bursa or Izmir. We cannot build our development over provinces and regions.

We will do this with all our provinces from the west to the east, from the north to the south.” used the phrases.

DEVELOPMENT OF AMASYA

We open our doors wide to our industrialists from Amasya, but I have to say this frankly. The R&D initiatives and approaches of Amasya industrialists are not at the level we want. I am constantly reminded of one thing. Look, you have to forget the outdated, outdated, traditional methods. Every day, you have to think, 'How can I innovate in business processes, products, marketing methods?' Without research, development, innovation, you go 3 years, you go 5 years, but then you will stumble somewhere.” he said.

OUR PRESIDENT IS CAREFUL FOR THIS COUNTRY

Underlining that the secret behind the success of the President is hidden in a single word, Varank said, "Our President is troubled for this country, he is troubled about our country's reputation in the world arena, he is troubled about putting our country among the top 10 countries with the strongest economy, he is troubled about making our citizens more prosperous. That is why we, those who truly love this country, should stand by our President. It needs to move this country forward in industry, R&D, entrepreneurship and technology.
