They made this decision, despite the fact that US officials also talked about our company's performance, production qualities, costs and delivery times in a wide variety of environments regarding the contribution of the Turkish industry to this partnership. We see that it was not so easy for our competent manufacturers to find new ones. We continue our production partnership. You tried to take us out, we did not go to rest, as we are stopping our production, we will not go. Because if there is a partnership agreement, if a departure is made, we believe that the partners who set out should continue faithfully. This is our stance as a nation and state. We believe this stance is correct. ”
