My dream is still a strong player in the armored vehicles industry, one in the drone industry. So I would love to see a merger, buy-out of Bayraktar and Vestel and create a national champion that can compete everywhere.
That's not true at all, look at Koc, Sabanci. Or in Germany where family owned businesses are the most respected companies, because usually they care a bit more about long-term growth and the people that work there.

Turkey will continue to buy Russian gas, but at spot price and not in those long term contracts. What the government is trying to do right now is to sign another fixed price contract, in combination with the existing one because the prices are to high and we would have to take it. Instead they...
Hidromek seems to be one of the few international successes based in Turkey. Just saw that they have reached a 27% market share in Spain, which is a pretty big construction market. Kudos.
We need more of those technology and export leaders in Turkey.
