During these visits, which involved exchanging views on the challenges merchants face in economic and commercial life, they also engaged in cordial conversations with citizens.

During home visits conducted as part of the program, the officials were welcomed as guests by families and listened directly to citizens’ views and expectations.

Visit to the Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli Mausoleum

One of the program’s key stops was the Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli Mausoleum and Dergah.

Necmettin Erkan, Mehmet Özdil, and the accompanying delegation offered prayers in the spiritual presence of Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, emphasizing the importance of Anatolia’s culture of unity, solidarity, brotherhood, tolerance, and mutual support.

Özdil: “We Stood by Our Small Business Owners Together with Mr. Necmettin Erkan”

Assessing the program, UEB Founding Chairman Mehmet Özdil expressed his satisfaction with the visits and made the following remarks:

“Together with our AK Party Kırşehir Member of Parliament, Mr. Necmettin Erkan, we visited our small business owners, artisans, and citizens in Nevşehir and Hacıbektaş. We were guests at the businesses of our small business owners and gathered with our citizens and their families. We had the opportunity to hear their requests and expectations directly from them.

By paying our respects at the spiritual sanctuary of Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, we once again felt the importance of our unity, solidarity, and brotherhood. As the International Tradespeople’s Union, we will continue to stand by our tradespeople in every corner of our country and listen to their voices.”

Özdil expressed his gratitude to the AK Party Kırşehir Deputy Necmettin Erkan, the Nevşehir and Hacıbektaş branches, UEB Nevşehir Provincial Chairman Selim Özmen, and the tradespeople and citizens for the warm interest and hospitality shown throughout the program.

Direct Engagement with Small Business Owners Will Continue

The Nevşehir and Hacıbektaş program served as a prime example of the UEB’s approach to establishing direct, on-the-ground contact with small business owners and artisans.

During the visits conducted jointly by Necmettin Erkan and Mehmet Özdil, directly gathering the views of business owners and establishing close contact with citizens were among the program’s key elements.

The International Tradespeople’s Union aims to continue its meetings with tradespeople and artisans and its fieldwork throughout Turkey.
