Coup d’état Attempt in Turkey, 15 July 2016

Please find below the Statement received from the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey:

"On 15 July 2016, the democratically elected Government of Turkey was attempted to be overthrown by a fraction of the Turkish Armed Forces. The attempt was thwarted by the joint efforts of Turkish security forces staying loyal to the elected government and the people of Turkey.

We would like to inform you that our daily lives and all governmental functions turned into normal after this regrettable attempt throughout the country. The Cabinet has declared a State of Emergency to shorten the normalization process and to stabilize the Turkish economy immediately. And, all necessary measures have been taken to restore a more business friendly economy in the upcoming period.

On the business side, all firms and factories are continuing their normal operations without any interruption. Customs procedures and all commercial government services are operating normally without any delays.

It is our sincere belief that there will not be any instability in our country, and we will continue keeping our commitments to our business partners as before."
