ANKARA - Turkish State Minister Kursad Tuzmen Sunday called on Turkish contractors to be interested in auctions and tenders in oil producing countries.
"Oil prices have reached 100 USD but the threat caused by rise in oil prices should be turned into an opportunity," Tuzmen told A.A correspondent.
Tuzmen said oil producing countries will use their oil incomes in new infrastructural and other investments.
"Therefore, Turkish contractors should have the biggest share in new investments in these countries," he also said.
Tuzmen said Turkish businessmen undertook contracting projects worth 46 billion USD in the last three years and had a share about 50 percent in some of these countries.
