MTOSB President Tekli stated that they always aim to maintain Mersin’s industrial strength at high levels and also place great importance on education.

A regulatory update is expected in the coming days. Following that, we will have further discussions regarding an organized industrial zone investment on an area of 100 hectares in the Güvercinlik region. Of course, the outcome of these discussions must comply with the regulations of both states. If our Ministry of Industry permits, our industrialists are open to investing in the TRNC.”
