President of the Republic Addressed the Turkish Businessmen

Yesterday evening, The President of the Republic who is on official visit in Turkey, gave an introductory address on the seminar in Istanbul organized by the Turkish Council of Economic Development and Co-operation (DEIK). In his address, President Meri emphasised the prospects of trade exchange and economic co-operation between Estonia and Turkey. The legal basis for the co-operation already exists in the form of agreements that have been concluded or are currently prepared for conclusion. As Lennart Meri said, the northern supporting point of the bridge crossing the Strait of Bosporus could in our imagination be transferred into the Gulf of Finland – this symbol would emphasize the co-operation between Turkey and Estonia.
