The Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists (TUSKON) has organized another Turkey-World Trade Bridge summit, to be held in İstanbul starting Wednesday as nearly 2,000 businessmen from all around the world fly in to attend.
Turkish businessmen from a number of sectors, including textiles and machinery, among others, will engage in private meetings with their counterparts from the Balkans, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Asia-Pacific to sign business deals.
TUSKON President Rızanur Meral said nearly 26,000 foreign businessmen in addition to the 40,000 Turkish businessmen attended previous events organized by the business organization.
Erdoğan’s obvious target was Fethullah Gülen, but it is clear that he also attacked anyone who doesn’t think like him with phrases such as “false prophets,” “fake mystics” and “so-called scholars.” This denigration is problematic especially in terms of secularism. Indeed, the prime minister hurls gross insults at religious interpretations that diverge from his own. In his capacity as a prime minister, he imposes his beliefs and acts onto those who do not think like him. One step beyond these remarks would be the prime minister’s supporters’ resorting to violence against those he places on the bull’s eye.
