TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated the AK Party, which came out as the first party in the elections after the November 1, 2015 General Elections, ”Now is the time to focus on the economy and reforms”.
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated the following in his assessment:



Kasım I wish the results of the November 1 elections will be beneficial to our country and nation.

In the general elections held with a high turnout rate, our nation showed great will in the ballot box.

Thus it demonstrated once again that Turkey has a strong and solid democratic tradition.

The fact that 97 percent of the vote will be represented in the Parliament is also pleasing in terms of the point where our democracy has come.

I would like to congratulate the Justice and Development Party, which won the favor of our nation by showing great success in the elections.

We have experienced 4 different selection processes in our country in the last 2 years.

Now we have left behind the intensive election agenda.

The re-emergence of a strong and single-party power is a great opportunity to strengthen stability, peace and trust.

Turkey should use this opportunity now, it should focus on the economy and reforms.

We can overcome all of our issues without forgetting that we are all on the same ship, working together in consensus, consultation and common sense.

Now it is time for our country to work together. ”
