TURKEY WANTS TO ATTRACT GULF COUNTRIES' INVESTMENTS, TURKISH PRESIDENT'S ADVISOR SAYS
ISPARTA (A.A) - 16.06.2010 - The Turkish president's chief advisor on issues related to the Middle East said on Wednesday that Turkey was eager to attract the investments carried out by Gulf countries in Europe.
Speaking to AA, Turkish President Abdullah Gul's Chief Advisor on the Middle East Ersat Hurmuzlu said the president's office had recently launched a promotion campaign to show the world that Turkey was a country of opportunities.
Pointing to the investments carried out by the Gulf region nowadays, Hurmuzlu said Turkish officials had informed the ambassadors of six Gulf countries on the investment opportunities in Turkey.
"Gulf countries carry out numerous investments worth billions USD in foreign countries, particularly in eastern Europe. We would like to change the course of these investments from Europe to Turkey," the advisor said.
Arab countries' interest in Turkey had grown in the recent term, Hurmuzlu said. "The stability in Turkey increased such interest, however, it is not sufficient. That's why we are carrying out studies to stimulate investments in Turkey."
Hurmuzlu also said that Arab countries were particularly interested in agriculture and tourism sectors, and Turkey was an ideal country in both areas.
