Now many Turks cannot help but gloat that Turkey’s economy is forecast to grow at a 7.5 percent rate this year while Europe is sputtering.

“Those who called us ‘sick’ in the past are now ‘sick’ themselves,” Zafer Caglayan, Turkey’s minister of economy, said recently.
“May God grant them recovery.”

Years of investment in the defense sector are clearly starting to bear fruit for Turkish firms, which now have the diplomatic backing and the technological quality to make the leap into the global market. Though Ankara's dependence on U.S. products could represent a credibility gap in the long run, Turkey is currently running research and development projects that could overcome this issue. Moreover, given the range of defense products rolled out by Turkish firms recently, the day in which Turkey will mainly employ indigenous weapon systems could be relatively close at hand.
