“Turkey has never let down anyone who believed, trusted and invested in it. A greater portion of international investors continue to increase their investments in our country because they see this fact. I call on our businessmen to do the same. Do not postpone your investments”, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday in a speech at a farewell ceremony of launching four energy-generating ships that will be sailed to Indonesia, Myanmar and Ghana.
Explaining that these ships built by Karadeniz Holdings will help those countries to meet their energy and electrical power needs.
He called on all foreign investors to intensify their investments in Turkey, pointing to the facilities that the Turkish government offers to attract investments in many sectors.
Turkish President denounced Turkish businessmen saying” “If our own businessmen do not stick to investments in Turkey with their heart and soul and make the mistake of delaying their investments at a time when international investors trust Turkey, this will only make them lose”, adding “I believe in our entrepreneurs as I believe in my country and my nation.Do not hesitate, you will regret it if you are late”.
He stressed on the strength of the Turkish economy, adding that the operations carried out by terrorist organisations in Turkey fail to affect the country, referring to how things were settled very quickly and life returned to its normality after the coup attempt last July.
“Turkey’s biggest problem is that it cannot express itself properly”, he said; adding, “I don’t know if there is any other country in the world that is faced with so many problems but also has such a great economic power. This situation causes a sharp difference between how Turkey is perceived from far away and what it really is”.
Turkish Prime Minister Ben Ali Yildirim, said that Turkey has recently qualified 185,000 seamen, noting that Turkey ranks the second after China in this area.
In a speech, Yildirim described the Turkish economy as strong and robust, noting that Turkey is able to compete with other developed countries’ economies.
