A member of the country’s internal affairs commission and councils of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stressed: “When job creation is in the hands of the government or is somehow dependent on the government, it will not end, but the people’s capacities must be relied upon.”
In an interview with ISNA, Shahabuddin Bimqdar stated about the most important results of entrepreneurship: “What is considered as a key point for creating sustainable employment for the development of the country is relying on the people and the capacities of the people.”
The representative of Tabriz further stated that as long as job creation is in the hands of the government or is somehow dependent on the government, it will not be completed. It has happened in this country. Finally, in 1996, I decided to implement this project in our own country. We first started working with a company and chose the city of Esco in East Azerbaijan as a pilot. Fortunately, with the cooperation of the governor of the region, the development and cooperation company of Osko city started its work with 1400 people and 300 million capital in 1996, and with the selection of qualified managers and experts of this company, it achieved good success.
Bimqdar noted: “The next step was welcomed in Maragheh city and today the company is operating by using the available facilities and relying on the people’s capacity in various fields such as ornamental fish farming, home and handicraft industries, and exporting agricultural products.”
He further emphasized: “Today, with the export of mulberry products, we have a high income, which is a more significant figure compared to oil exports.” Our priority has been trade with export priority. Launching the oil industry with the devices that the cooperative itself has created and cultivating medicinal plants are in our ongoing programs. I also suggest to the 11th parliament to pay special attention to the issue of entrepreneurship by looking at the people’s capacities.
Pointing out that pressure on the government is not a way out of the occupation, Bimqdar said: “We must all join hands and create a real private sector.” As long as there is lobbying and a golden signature in the private sector, the problem will not be solved. There is no way for the government to create a bubble on the stock exchange to cover part of its costs. They need to set the stage for companies to operate within the framework of the law and then come to the stock market and compete logically.
