Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday said he has ordered ministers not to work with American management consulting firm McKinsey, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Treasury and Finance Minister and Erdoğan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak on Sept. 27 stated in New York that Turkey would work with McKinsey as part of the New Economic Program (NEP) that was unveiled to facilitate recovery from recent economic problems.
McKinsey step of the government attracted criticism from opposition parties and also Islamist grassroots of the Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
“I told all my minister friends: ‘You shall not receive any advice or consulting from them.’ We do not need it. We are sufficient to do it by ourselves,” said Erdoğan at the AKP’s consultation meeting in Kızılcahamam district of the Ankara.
Underlining that Turkey asked for investments during official visits to foreign countries, but never asked for money, Erdoğan said: “Of course, Turkey is open to all kinds of investments, support and contribution as long as the price to pay for this is not eyeing on our country’s sovereignty and future.”
“As long as I am alive, nobody will be able to put Turkey again under de yoke of international organizations,” added Erdoğan, emphasizing that government will achieve country’s goals with its own solutions, its own programs.
