Ukraine and Turkey set up a joint venture in precision weapons and aerospace technologies
The state company "Ukrspetsexport, a member of the "Ukroboronprom", and the Turkish company Baykar Defence, one of the leading manufacturers of drones, established...
Eventually I expect all the armored vehicle manufacturers etc to consolidate and merge. No point in having 4-5 Turkish companies competing with similar products in the same markets. We need national champions. Same story with Vestel or Baykar.

Koc has many partnerships/JV with existing car brands and working on an competing car brand wont be good for their business and partnerships. It makes little sense for them to get involved.
Someone should have bought Volvo or Saab when it was available instead of starting from scratch.
Governments reply will probably more Imam Hatips (religious schools). But if you consider the average education level of an AKP voter, this is hardly surprising.

1. You (AKP) put them there in first place
2. a process AKP started, hendeks that AKP tolerated. dozens of soldiers died as a direct result.
3. You threw way more than just PKK supporters into prison
4. a half-arsed Güllenist coup attempt. By the people that were put there during the AKP years...
I think many people are a bit unfair towards Anka, a project that was changed so many times and thus delayed because the requirements were changed constantly.
