European standards. They voice all the problems of the entrepreneur and produce
solutions. I congratulate our Chamber and Commodity Exchange, our presidents,
their administrations, assemblies and general secretaries.”
Stating that he
believes that Samsun's share in Turkey's exports will increase from 6 per
thousand to 1 percent of Turkey's exports and even further beyond afterwards,
TOBB President said the following: “Samsun, which will be the new production
and export center for our Samsun industrialists, has completed the allocation
of land for the expansion of the Samsun New Organized Industrial Zone. It
ensured the realization of this investment that we have been waiting for years.
Samsun has become a very important and shining investment center of the region
and our country with its additional 4 OIZs that will be operational next to its
5 operating OIZs. Mr. Minister ensured the establishment of the Central Black
Sea Free Zone, which we have been waiting for years. Together with our Mayor,
he solved the facility problem of Samsun sports. In short, all these should
show everyone that the public and private sectors in Samsun are one and
together. They are united for the development and enrichment of Samsun. They
are also ready to write new success stories. In addition to this, Samsun offers
very attractive investment opportunities with its central location, structure
suitable for agriculture and industry, transportation facilities, logistics
center and port. This is the gateway of Central Anatolia to the seas.”
