Defence Turkey: Mr. Latif Aral Aliş, you attended Eurosatory the Land and Airland Defence and Security Exhibition that took place in Paris last month and you accompanied Undersecretary for Defence Industries Prof. İsmail Demir throughout the fair.   Could you please brief us your impression about the fair?

Eurosatory is one of the prominent sectorial events worldwide. We attended Eurosatory 2014 with a national participation organized by Defence and Aerospace Industry Exporters’ Association (SSI). We represented Turkish defence industry together with 22 companies, SSI and our promotion group called Turkish Defence Alliance (TDA). We were ranked as the 7th country in terms of the number of companies attending the fair. This year, we participated in the fair with our motto “global solutions for local needs” which represents the point where Turkish Defence Industry has reached. Owing to our wide product range, diversified services and increasing quality, the interest to the Turkish Defence and Aerospace Industry products is increasing day by day. We observed such increasing interest in Paris. The Turkish companies’ stands hosted a large number of visitors.
