US-Turkey defense and aviation talks start in Ankara

ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News

High-level defense talks were launched yesterday between delegations from Turkey and the United States. The talks were led by Murad Bayar, chief of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM), and U.S. Undersecretary of Commerce for International Commerce Francisco Sanchez.

The Ankara meeting was hosted and sponsored by the Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodities Exchanges (TOBB). Several defense companies from the two countries took part in the defense negotiations in the third visit of Sanchez to Turkey in his tenure since 2009. Turkey’s defense exports were $1,089 billion in 2011, representing a rise from $832 million in 2009 and $853 in 2010. The U.S team to Turkey includes representatives from AdChem Manufacturing, Allied Wire & Cable, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Composite Engineering, Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense, FLIR Systems, General Electric, Industrial Metals, Infinity Air, IOMAX, ITT Exelis, Moog Components Group, Northrop Grumman, Nova Power Solutions, OSIsoft, Sikorsky, SpaceX and Trimble.
 
I was expecting several defense / aerospace related contracts to be announced, but havent heard anything so far. Any update???
 
^we will probably hear nothing, at this chaotic time those decisions are most likely to be postponed again.

We can make some emergency procurements, some small stuff. Untill the Syrian issue is dealt with.
