Recep Tayyip Erdogan bans his finance minister from attending the Davos forum
Economy
Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek will not attend the World Economic Forum in Davos due to the organisers' stance on Israel's war against Hamas.
Experts have expressed concern about possible negative consequences for Turkiye due to the lack of new ties and contracts with major investors.
An informed source confirms that the decision to ban Simsek's trip to Davos is an initiative of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has banned officials from attending the event. The Turkish minister had previously planned to visit Davos, but the conflict between Israel and Gaza enclave troops affected his schedule.
In the press service of Erdogan and Simsek refused to comment on this fact. Recall that the forum's founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab, had earlier condemned Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel but later called for action to protect Gaza's civilian population.
