In a press release, Ahlatci Holding’s CEO, Ahmet Ahlatci, said, “We trust in our government, our nation, the strength of our economy and our country’s bright future. We believe that our people who have made history over and over in the past will also overcome this global calamity. Being so confident, and having so much faith, I would like to announce that we will not lay off any of our 3300 employees; instead, we will increase employment by 10 percent by employing for 330 more people who have lost their jobs in other establishments.”
