Turkey's economy is powerful enough to tackle tough times.

Turkey is going through an incredible economic, political and social transformation. What is most important is that Turkey has been the owner of this transformation. Ownership has been the key to success.

When Turkey buys Iranian oil, we pay for it in Turkish lira... However, it is not possible for Iran to take that money as dollars into its own country due to international restrictions, the U.S.A.s sanctions. Therefore, when Iran cannot take this money back as currency, they withdraw Turkish lira and buy gold from our market.

Islam and democracy can function together.

The fast fish, not the big fish, eats the small fish.

Turkey is widely envied while there are very serious troubles in the world economy.

Population is a strong driver of the economy as well as the quality of the labor force.
