There are two words that we have emphasized and constantly repeated since the first day we took office: Unity and Solidarity. When we look back to the past, these two words always lie at the basis of all the projects we have realized and all the work we have done. It is impossible for people to be successful without coming together, standing shoulder to shoulder, and taking off each other’s burdens. Even the greatest geniuses accepted in the world were essentially people who could hold people together and work with them. In this respect, the reason behind the position Laleli has reached and the reputation that LASİAD has developed in the process lies in our ability to maintain unity and solidarity. All the work carried out as a region has emerged under the leadership of LASİAD and as a result of the ownership of the region. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished by a sincere and hard-working community that is open to different views and ideas. We can easily see this in Laleli’s recent success story and high performance. Our region, which continues its path without hesitation even in the most difficult processes that our country has gone through, has managed to overcome these difficult times with minor injuries thanks to its high ability to act collectively and the influence of its regional representation power. It is an undeniable fact that we are united in this and our hearts beat in harmony as if they were in a single body.
As you know, Laleli can be considered as a role model not only for our region, but also for our country and even for the world fashion industry. We aimed to constantly increase Laleli’s reputation, prestige and prestige during our tenure. We worked and struggled with all our might for this. We thought that Laleli should be represented in the best possible way everywhere, on every platform and in every position, and we made great efforts at this point. As LASİAD, we aimed to have good relations with every institution in order to find solutions to the problems of Laleli, which has many problems as well as opportunities. At this point, ITO, İHKİB, TOBB etc. in order to bring Laleli to the better and move it higher. We aimed to provide maximum benefit to our region by taking part in many institutions together with our friends. We have seen through experience how important it is for Laleli to take part in such institutions and organizations, and we have once again confirmed the accuracy of the decisions we have taken. So much so that, through these activities, we were able to turn Laleli into a fashion brand in its own right, from the days when even pronouncing the name Laleli was misunderstood. This was undoubtedly possible by us acting in unity and solidarity, shoulder to shoulder.
Just as history repeats itself, the process has brought us to an election period again. In this process, we can show Laleli’s power, potential and capacity through unity and solidarity. In the upcoming ITO elections, our ability to move our region to the better and more beautiful is possible through our collective action. I believe that if we act in unity and solidarity, there will be nothing that we cannot achieve. As long as we are aware of our power and strive to reveal this power. As LASİAD, we have taken responsibility to represent Laleli and strengthen its power in the upcoming elections. The support of all our members and especially our regional companies is very important here. We must embrace Laleli, where we have made great contributions to our country as a sector and region, and where we have made great efforts, and we must act in unity and shoulder to shoulder. Only in this way is it possible to reach the Laleli we desire.
I respectfully greet you with the hope that we will reach a bright future in the spirit of unity and solidarity.
