Why Doing Business in Turkey? Turkey is a vibrant amalgamation of two unique cultures, reflecting a diverse collection of ideas, beliefs and values. Crossing both European and Middle Eastern boundaries, Turkish society is patriotic and proud of its ancestry and achievements. The rapid modernisation of the country, combined with its traditional values, makes Turkey an increasingly attractive market for foreign businesses. Successfully doing business in Turkey however requires an understanding of and respect for Turkish business culture and etiquette.
