Ankara considers the attitude of the forum organizers to the conflict between Palestine and Israel unacceptable.
Turkey will not participate in the World Economic Forum in Davos. This is due to the position taken by the organizers of the event in relation to the conflict between Palestine and Israel, which Ankara considers unacceptable. Such information was spread by Bloomberg agency with reference to its sources.
It is reported that Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek intended to attend the annual meeting of political and business leaders, but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who opposes Israel's behavior in the war in the Gaza Strip, stopped him.
It is emphasized that such a decision by Turkey could negatively affect the country when interacting with foreign investors.
The World Economic Forum kicked off in Davos on Monday, January 15. This year, representatives of more than 60 countries will take part in it.
