Today's Turkey Is Attractive For Japanese Investors, Turkish President

TOKYO - Turkey's President Abdullah Gul said Thursday "today's Turkey is attractive for Japanese corporations and investors."
Speaking at the Turkish-Japanese Business Forum in Tokyo, Gul said there was a great potential to promote relations between Turkey and Japan.
Gul said that Turkey was the world's 15th biggest economy based on its purchasing power.
"Turkey made significant economic reforms, fulfilled the Maastricht criteria and no longer has high inflations," Gul said.
"The present day Turkey is very attractive for Japanese investors. We believe Turkey needs to be rediscovered. Turkey is a bridge between Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. We must increase our cooperation. I believe we can work together in privatizations and nuclear energy," Gul also said.
