OSTİM Chairman Orhan Aydın complains that the wheels do not rotate in harmony between the private sector he represents and the organization of the state.

In a meeting held in Antalya on 30 November, Aydın contested these words. We asked Aydın both his words and the situation of SMEs.

C4Defence: SMEs are the central pillar of the real sector. Today, all companies are our pride, but if they cannot employ SMEs, they cannot finish any work. In a meeting where the state and the private sector were together, you stated that the wheels were not in harmony between the private and the state bureaucracy. You said, “These wheels are not in the right system.” Do you react afterwards?

OSTİM Chairman of the Board Orhan Aydın: SMEs are the main thing that gives the industry depth. The sustainability of large systems is not easy in defence. This issue of compliance is not just defensive. It is the general function of the Turkish bureaucracy. Working in harmony with each other,… there are institutional follow-ups.
