Bolt has had a very efficient year in 2008, as you can follow through our institutional bulletins, training, fairs, meetings and facility plans have been carried out.
We had a very intense (strong) investment period in the year 2008.
We have substantially achieved the targets within our plans
But we have encountered a global economic negativity surprise that appeared through the end of 2008, which still continues.
But, what will happen now? I think we must go on ?
No pessimism, but also no dreamy optimism.
New strategies should be determined by going beyond the ordinary with even more realistic assessments during this period.
In this new period, we are preventing extravagance thorough renewed cost accounting. Efficiency should be given extra importance. We will assess our works by re-analyzing beginning at square one; then make new plans. When carrying these out, institutionalization and sales marketing should be stressed much more.
We have had many crises as a country. We have had many losses and gains and had many experiences. Turkey will overcome this crisis.
I believe that the values of sharing, unity and cooperation that exist in the cultural structure of our country will make our country stronger on social, cultural and economical subjects in this period.
2009 brings beauty, peace and efficiency.
Goodbye.

Remzi Topuk
Chairman of the Board))
