İbrahim Çağlar, President of Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ICOC) hosted Consul Generals and senior consular officers of 49 countries at ICOC premises. In the meeting called ‘Strong Turkey, Strong Economy’ Çağlar said: July 15 saw how the illegal Fetullah Terror Organization members, in army camouflage, threatened not only Turkey, but also the ‘whole global order’.

JULY 15 IS A CRITICAL ‘BENCHMARK’ FOR THE WORLD

Çağlar said: “Countries can no longer afford to feel safe in their own ivory towers and watch the rest of the world go by. If these terrorists were successful on the wake of Jul 16, this would be the start of a great depression and crisis to affect not only the 79 million people of this country, but also many others near and far. It is for this reason that the successful repulse of July 15 attempt is a critical benchmark for the whole world. Turkey fought off a great battle on the night of July 15, it fought to reestablish peace on earth. We derive pleasure from the fact that democracy won, world peace has won.”

PROOF OF ECONOMIC STRENGTH

Çağlar stated that “July 15 saw an odyssey of independence written by the political administration based on the democratic culture and national will. Çağlar added: “We all said ‘Stop’ – the President, Government, security forces, the business world, non governmental organizations, men, women even the children, we, the whole nation came together and we said ‘Stop’ to this ill attempt.

I would like to personally thank all our people, they are defenders of democracy, they take ownership of the national will. The 237 people who lost their lives, may they rest in peace.”

Çağlar highlighted the economic potential of Turkey and the determination of the business world and recapped how the response of the nation was a proof of the economic, political and social strength of the country.

MEGA PROJECTS CONTINUE AS PLANNED

ICOC President Çağlar explained that “EUR and USD currencies and the stock exchange share prices rebalanced to their pre- July 15 levels shortly after the coup attempt, and highlighted the fact that people domestically opted to invest in TRL and not foreign currency was a very visible sign of confidence in economy. Central Bank announced that this incident would not bear a negative effect on inflation. On the other hand, private consumption suffers no slowdown, business continues as usual. Mega projects continue as planned.” Addressing the Consul Generals and senior consular officers, Çağlar expressed that the government committed itself to ensure daily life would not be adversely affected during state of emergency (SoE), and that there is no reason for foreign investors or consulates to worry and said “We have full confidence in our President and our Prime Minister – they have always been extremely supportive of our business world, they have been supportive of foreign investors. We are confident that our economy and our democracy will go through this and remerge as strengthened even more.” During the meeting, parties also talked about possible steps to further enhance private sector economic relationships with countries represented by consular officers.

ENGLAND STANDS WITH THE TURKISH NATION

Deputy Consul General of England Nicholas Kay stated that England condemns the recent events. Kay said: “England has a very clear stance about this. England stands with the Turkish nation. Everybody saw what solidarity and standing united can do. England has important economic ties with Turkey, which will be sustained.”

ECONOMIC COOPERATION WILL BE ENHANCED

Iranian Consul General Mohsen Mortezaeifar mentioned that the people and government of Iran will always stand with the legitimate and elected government of Turkey and the friendly Turkish nation.
