Shabab Libya

The Anatolia news agency on Wednesday reported that TMB board members recently met to discuss the situation in Libya. The association decided to remain in close contact with the new government in Libya so as to protect Turkish projects in the country. Underlining that it would be naive to expect “huge developments” in the near future, TMB officials say Turkish companies, which have an advantage over other countries thanks to their completing quality jobs in Libya, will resume projects and continue to undertake new projects in the country. TMB officials say they will try their best to ensure Turks get the lion’s share in new projects in the war-torn country. Observers argue that the government should support entrepreneurs claim new tenders, particularly in the field of construction.

DEİK Turkey-Libya Business Council Chairman Hüseyin Ersin Takla told Anatolia on Wednesday that they continue to conducts studies to “help Turkish contractors stage a healthy and strong comeback to Libyan markets.” Takla and his team are contemplating visiting the country shortly. “We need to show our solidarity with the people of Libya and say ‘we are here’,” he explained.

Turkey’s national carrier, Turkish Airlines (THY), will resume flights to the Libyan city of Benghazi by Oct. 10, following the closure of the city’s airport due to damage caused by ongoing unrest. Turkish businessmen have had trouble reaching the city due to the lack of flights between Turkey and Benghazi since the unrest broke out.
