My guess is Malaysia.

They got money, they need the helicopters and we're 'friendly' countries.

Azerbaycan is suffering from embargos so we'd probably have engine problems, if not then Azerbaycan might also be the buyer. Though I don't see Azerbaycan as a positive sale to boost about, for most Turkish citizen it's probably natural that they get what we have. Only problem lies with governments not liking each other.

Pakistan is possible but lack of money and Americans offering aid so that they can buy Cobra's.
Perhaps other Middle-Eastern countries? I remember king of Jordan came to visit the TAI complex as well. But not sure if they have the need or the money for brand new helicopters.

Today, the relationship between Turkey and Azerbaijan is at its highest level. Somada facia oldugunda, Azerbaycan bashsagligi veren ulke yok, bashsagligi alan ulke oldugunu bildirdi be ulkede matem ilan edildi. Tum programlar iptal edildi ve bayraklar indirildi.

Well before Turkey starts helping muslim countries in technological fields, Turkey has to achieve higher standards. I would like to see Turkey scale up to Israel, and outperform them in all fields.

Aselsan has invested in four muslim Countries outside of Turkey already.

the ****?

Aselsan Baku looks like corner store

I also heard it first time, Aselsan Baku. I think they should open one in Baku. They can also prove themselves to the public. Because, still most of the Azerbaijani think that(thanks to post USSR) Russian army technology is superior. I think Turkey should work with TV or army programs to change this mind.

This means nothing.
Turkey is actually a threat to Aliyev and the other people that hold the power in Azerbaycan. They only have to look at us to wake up and start asking questions. How come there is so much oil (revenue) but the people are still relatively poor? How come the government only talks but does nothing?

How did Aliyev get power? From father to son, just like in Syria.

But this is a discussion not fitted for this thread.

and 50% unemployment rate

Dude, I would strongly recommend you to follow politics, especially this region, before write anything. You have never been in Azerbaijan, and still talking about it. Azerbaijan pays students who want to study abroad. every year thousands of students go to study in abroad. you cant simply change the country. all governor has Sovet mind, it need time to change.
George Bush's father was also President, its not reason to compare Azerbaijan with Syria. This is telling a lot about your knowledge.
Aliyev denied Russia and signed contract to sell gas to Turkey and Europe(TANAP project). it requires balls to do it. Because, this project means end of Russia, or simply, 100 billion $ loss every year(which Russia earns 60% of its revenue from oil and gas sales). anyway, their economy fall 2 % down this year, by 2018, imagine the whats waiting for Russia. Thats why, they turned to CHine to sell gas, which they estimated to be ready by 2018(i dont think they can make it, just saying that to stop investments going from Russia) also it requires 70 billion investment and way cheaper price than they sell to Europe.
Also, Today, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Turkmenistan's foreign ministers meet in Baku. Turkey and Azerbaijan want to convince Turkmenistan to join Tanap project. They sell the same gas for 3 times cheaper price to Russia. It will also be another punch to Russia.
Just keep in mind that Aliyev and Tayyip Erdogan are so close these days. Last time Tayyip Erdogan visited Baku, Aliyev said that, we talk like brothers and discussing anything possible, not just head of different countries. ALiyev fired all Gulen people and took their business just for Tayyip also.
Anyway. have fun

6.200 of 6.400 parts of T-129 are produced in Türkiye... According to KOKPITAERO(also i read it somewhere else) same work share will be applied to exports of T-129... For sure economic share of T-129 is different... Italians have got more share then 6.200/6.400... Now 2 questions...

1- We produce 6.200 of 6.400 parts but does it mean all 6.200 parts are 100% indigenous ?..
2- What will be the economic share of Italians in T-129 exports ?..

6200 parts is the different sections of fuselage manufactured and assembled in TAI. Electronics, Electro-optics, mission computer elements, missiles and avionics are different story. Don't forget that Rotors are also manufactured by TAI.

Jordan is poor forget it they would probably go for Viper or Apache with American aid.
For Bahrain they would go for Apache any day and night just like every other Gulf-Arab kingdom.
