Turkey, as consumers, not producers in this market, we are carrying out the work needed to rapidly become an important export countries, not bought. "
'WE AIM TO MEET ALL OUR NEEDS WITH PRODUCTION IN DOMESTIC'

Finally a clever step.
Ex: USA; YHT and similar systems in the railway industry for many years, regardless of whether it is a production facility in its own country (eg: old Westinghaus, later AEG, then ADTranz (ABB + Daimler-Benz Railsystems, now a BOMBARDIER foundation, etc.), absolute While we are looking for domestic production / domestic ratio up to% 80, we need to be sure that we need to know this current and relevant practical knowledge (Know-How) input as it is, we open the market completely to foreigners as an Eldorado center. I hope that this mentality, behavior and initiative will bring to the participants and especially the domestic servers, many innovations for this critical branch, and will lead to change of mindset in the first place, to create a real value-added infrastructure, especially a real Ar. -Ge will direct you to create infrastructure, itece k, will carry us forward!
