About 3 months ago, the Sultanbeyli Jewelers Association, which started its activities, experienced the excitement of a congress. In the congress of the association, which includes all the jewelers in the district, the current president Cemal Eğin and his administration were unanimously re-elected. "WE LOWERED OUR PRICES"Cemal Eğin, a companion of the late Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu, the founding president of the Great Unity Party, made striking evaluations at the congress, backed by the support of the jeweler tradesmen. Stating that they established a new association at the request of the jewelers operating in Sultanbeyli, President Eğin said, "As Sultanbeyli jewelers, we made a decision to lower our profit margins and reduce our prices below those of neighboring districts. We put our hands under the stone so that our district can become an attraction center for gold sales. Thus, citizens from neighboring districts started coming to our district to shop here. There are 31 jeweler tradesmen in Sultanbeyli, and these tradesmen have 320 employees. We have united with these tradesmen and employees, we have become friends, we have become brothers," he stated. CHALLENGED THOSE WHO DEMAND TRIBUTEIn his continued statement, President Eğin addressed the recent demands for tribute from jewelers through threats and blackmail, especially throughout Istanbul, saying, "Sultanbeyli jewelers can only pay taxes to the tax offices of the Republic of Turkey. As a force, we recognize our heroic Turkish police and our soldiers who determine our borders. We do not recognize anyone else. Let it be known this way." This part of President Eğin's speech was applauded for a long time by those in the hall.
