Round of Senior Meetings: The Koç Family Visits Party Leaders in Turkey
As part of their preparations to mark the centenary of the founding of the Koç Group (Koç Holding), prominent businessman Ali Koç and his father Rahmi Koç held a series of official meetings today, May 14, 2026, with the heads of the major political parties in Turkey. According to reports in news channels such as Son Dakika Haberler Gündem, the stated purpose of the meetings is to present personal invitations to the ceremonies planned to mark the corporation's centennial.
As part of the round of visits, the two met with the chairman of the CHP party, Özgür Özel, and with the chairman of the MHP party, Devlet Bahçeli. As reported in FENERBAHÇE HABERLERİ, the emphasis in the conversations was on "presenting an official invitation to the Koç Group's centennial event program."
In addition to these meetings, channels such as Sansürsüz Gündem confirmed that Ali and Rahmi Koç also met with the chairman of the İYİ party, Müsavat Dervişoğlu.
The meetings, which were described in reports from various sources such as Sondakika Haber Gündem, received extensive coverage mainly due to the corporation's immense economic influence in Turkey and the cross-sectoral ties it fosters. It appears to be a move of "business diplomacy," aimed at ensuring the presence of the political leadership at the corporation's festive public events.
