The opening ceremony of the " TOBB Ankael Women's Cooperative" and Ankael Atelier, established within the scope of the "Engürü House Project" of the TOBB Ankara Women Entrepreneurs Board, was held with the participation of the Ankara Chamber of Industry President Nurettin Özdebir. In her speech at the opening ceremony, TOBB Ankara Women Entrepreneurs Board President Birten Gökyay stated that they set out with the support of Ankara Development Agency and ASO to produce souvenirs unique to Ankara, and said, "As a result of the realized Enguri house project we all had dreamed to establishing a cooperative. I would like to thank these 7 heroic women under the presidency of Gökçen Togay for making our Cooperative dream come true. I believe that this cooperative, together with other producer women's cooperatives established in our country, will be a good opportunity to prove that it is a correct model for development. I would like to thank our ASO president and his team, Altındağ Municipality Mayor Mr. Veysel Tiryaki, vice president Yunus Keleş and his team, who gave us strength with their support during the establishment phase.” Ankara Chamber of Industry President Nurettin Özdebir also emphasized that although the country has a very young and dynamic population, women, who make up 50 percent of this, do not take part in business life enough: "It will be an example" “We need to increase the number of women entrepreneurs. Our Women Entrepreneurs Board is working on this issue. As Ankara Chamber of Industry, we carry out various activities to increase the number of both women entrepreneurs and young entrepreneurs. If we want to get rich and develop, we have to make our women entrepreneurs too. They also present a good example of this today. Our women are raising our future generations. It is impossible not to care about them. As men, we cannot pour water into the hands of mothers. Our female entrepreneurs and our female friends working with their spouses also work more disciplined and self-sacrificing in their jobs. We desperately need their support as Turkey. I believe that this cooperative will set an example for our other women and will grow exponentially too. Right now they are may be 7 people, in the future they will be 70 people. I believe that this initiative will continue successfully for many years."

The motifs and materials used in handicrafts are, according to some, interest, according to others, passion and liking. The problem of the masters is different: To keep the Anatolian handicrafts that have a history of hundreds of years alive, to revive the lines that are about to be erased with new designs… Designers emphasize the need for knowledge in handicraft production, which has gained momentum in recent years. To know the traditions and values of the Anatolian people; making sense of the motifs reflected even on carpets, rugs and prayer rugs and interpreting the colors and feelings that add value to life are forming the basis of this knowledge.
