Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan affirmed that the homemade Turkish car will be a symbol of the country's renaissance, despite what he called the "fearful lobby" that frustrates the people’s resolve.
This came in a speech delivered by Erdogan today, Saturday, on the occasion of the start of construction of the Turkish car factory "TOGG" in the western province of Bursa.
Erdogan pointed out that the "fearful lobby" had never calm down in an attempt to keep Turkey dependent abroad by frustrating anxiety by practicing publicity that Turkey would not be able to manufacture and sell the car.
"Millions of hearts are enthusiastic again to realize the dream of the Turkish car, which has been obstructed from home and abroad for years," Erdogan said.
He pointed out that Turkey's project to manufacture its local car has had echoes inside the country and other countries in the world.
He described the start of building the Turkish car factory as a response to those who tried to thwart this project and he is in the process of designing.
The Turkish president added, "Countries annoyed by the growing strength of Turkey and increasing its confidence in itself have started a black propaganda campaign to distort it." He added, "All of our people have adopted the Turkish car industry project, because it is a reflection of the strength of our country and its production capacity."
The Turkish President expressed his confidence that the local car project will be a symbol of his country's vision towards becoming a strong and innovative country, and a source of inspiration for young generations.
