Gül’s $5 bln worth diplomacy
President Abdullah Gül hired an Airbus 340 from Turkish Airlines, or THY, and invited 104 businessmen to fly to the Arab Peninsula, specifically to the Oman Sultanate located where the Hormuz Strait meets the Indian Ocean. The trip is a continuation of a tradition started during the late President Turgut Özal’s period.
These coasts where fairy tales and films on the Captain Sinbad took place are now scenes of Turkish businessmen, who are, with the support of Gül, working hard to have a bigger share in the market.
With a population of approximately 3 million, the Oman Sultanate owns rich oil and natural resources and is embarking upon infrastructure projects. No problem exists between Turkey and Oman. On the contrary, the sultanate takes Turkey dearly.
