Mr. Aksu also made notable contributions to building our Company on concrete financial foundations, allowing sustainable growth, through his innovative solutions for financing of investments. His endeavors and outstanding efforts to maintain our Company’s solid and healthy financial structure are worthy of commendation. I believe Mr. Aksu will prove his success in his new role, and I wish it to be auspicious for our country.”
