Now there is a high-speed train project that will extend to the Caspian Lake. We met with the 10 biggest Turkish companies in their field. We went to all of them one by one. We suggested that they enter this project. But none of them wanted to get into this job with fear. They said 'America beats us'.
The embargo seems to be the only one of us. Founded in Iran, 27 is a big German company. A similar situation applies to British, French companies. They undertake enormous projects. We're going to sell frost-undershirt to us. We're afraid it can't be that either Kork
