The Republic of Tatarstan and, in particular, the special economic zone "Alabuga" are the most comfortable place for Turkish business in the Russian Federation.

The forum was attended by Tatarstan delegation led by President of the Republic Rustam Minnikhanov.

Addressing the representatives of the business circles of the Turkey Republic, who participated in the forum, Nihat Zeybekdzhi announced plans to reach the volume of trade between Russia and Turkey amounting to 10 billion dollars.
