Defence Turkey: Mr. Fatih Yakıcı, first of all thank you for your time. You are about to leave a year behind with your task as the Head of Land Platforms. What kind of term did you leave behind from the day you took office? Could you please evaluate this one-year period?

Since 2016, our department has realized various projects and achieved rapid deliveries in parallel with the increasing demands of requirement owners. In 2016, 11 contracts were signed and 8 RFPs were published. As of the beginning of 2017 up until now, we have signed 5 contracts. In line with these contracts, approximately 900 armored vehicles were delivered to the requirement owners in 2016, and since the beginning of 2017 until today, approximately 500 armored vehicles have been delivered to the requirement owners. In addition, studies related to our development projects were also performed intensively during this period.
