Hopefully, in March, wearing gloves will be produced in our own country. It is a simple thing, but we see it in the mask. How valuable it is to be “be that of the countries that we witness at the point of the war of extraction with each other.

Now when you look at global supply chains, what tool is produced 100 percent within a country’s own territory? How will you be competitive? Will you get people to buy more, follow a policy? consequently. We are 100 percent intellectual property rights. It belongs to our country, engineering we are talking about a car that our own people make. Of course, there may be other people among the suppliers. The global auto industry is developing so Quick we’re not in the car anymore, this is no longer a smart product Turkey, a major automaker $ 33 billion car, a country that exports parts and engineering Whether you can do the conversion, it just depends on the supplier. If your headquarters. We will activate this capacity in the country of Turkey with the automobile, we will develop and create a mobility ecosystem in Turkey. There is no shortage here. I hope 202 2 In the end, these tools are removed from the belt. We see before us a tool that Turkey is proud of all the others. “

“From the beginning, we carried out a process. The CEO of Volkswagen said that Diessen wrote to me. ‘We see this as a very important country for Turkey. We know that investing in Turkey will win.” Here, it clearly says the following: “I personally Turkey is a very important market, I see it as a manufacturer, I know it is true when it comes to investment, but there was great volatility in the period of the pandemic in the food industry. automobile. We have given up their desire to invest in our new and dashboard. All solutions in the existing factory They want to fix it by going to upgrade. Because we don’t know what the sector will be, “he says.
He came twice to meet with our president. It wasn’t our request, but he came over, told them what they wanted to do. This is the official statement for us, but I also know that these companies are global companies, but when you look at the boards of directors, the local governments, that is, the states, they have influence here, the unions have associations, there are foreign partners. They make investment decisions keeping all of these balances. Of course, we knew that there were those who did not want this job politically. Diess already said it in his statements to the press ”.
Calling attention to the fact that global brands should not make political decisions, Varank said: “If this company is open to the public, you are actually misleading your investor, it means that you do not decide on the profitable, but in accordance with the political pressure on you. This is sad and it should be underlined that they have stated to the press. I remember that they settled down following the phrase in the first meeting: ‘Look, we have an important ekonomiyiz like Turkey, we attach great importance to global investors, But please give us the economic decision, we are going to do this work, the political decision making. Let’s not waste our current job, it starts the energy that it gives to political decisions. ‘What they told us that day was’ We will never make a political decision ‘.
‘INVESTMENT EARNINGS IN TURKEY’
and investors who invest in Turkey and highlighted that Varank would win the country, said they treat all investors equally.
Varank, pointing to opinions of the global firms themselves, “This job is also not lost by Volkswagen. Because investors in the economic it is not, they admitted that they themselves deceived by political decisions. We trust our own car projects. Our investors Our door is open. Turkey, shining in the world’s production in the next period will be the star. It would win to invest in Turkey, “he said.
