Underlining that Turkey has spent its last 90 years by establishing good relations with the West, he said: “Having adapted the Western culture and education, Turkey keeps the key to the Middle East for the Western world due to its long history”.

“While the European countries are struggling with an unprecedented
economic crisis, Turkey is experiencing a powerful economic growth, and its
close relations with the Middle East play a great part in this”.
“Thank God, they did not admit us into the European Union then...”
Stating that Turkey has a special geographical location, Yıldız said: “We are close to both Europe and the Middle East. While one of them is going through a serious crisis, the other one is offering great opportunities for us. For this reason, we could stay on the path and kept growing despite of the economic crisis in the world. Thank God, they did not admit us into the European Union then.” Highlighting that following China, Turkey is the second fastest growing economy of the world, Yıldız said: “Our annual production exceeds 775 billion. The World Bank classifies Turkey under the economy groups having high income. It is achieved by the assiduity of the Turkish people.”
