State Minister Tüzmen: Turkey can reach $ 50 billion in exports
State Minister Kursad Tuzmen said that if Turkey reaches a growth rate of 13-14 percent, it could have an export amount of 50 billion dollars within 2-3 years.
Tuzmen said that the people gave AK Party the chance to come to power on its own, and that the party would use this chance in the best way.
Tuzmen stressed that when coalition parties come to power, countries can only reach an economic growth rate of 3-4 percent, but when one party comes to power, this figure can reach 7-8 percent.
“We have projects all over the country, we will put into practice immediately the project aiming at activating agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism and transportation sectors. We will start a new leap forward by directing small and medium scale enterprises to making exports. Our target will be to reach 50 billion dollars in exports.”
