The Germans have this one company that they got to impose an embargo on us.
It is one of the most important weapons manufacturers in the world.
It produces infantry rifles and pistols.
HK. You can figure out what that stands for. Heckler Koch.
It was the team that was the biggest arms maker in the world and
supplied weapons to our special forces and so on. America... Germany imposed
an embargo. All right? Then after that,
our companies produced an even better version of the same weapon.
Right now, the special forces of our country...
are using the weapons we manufacture. Our special forces teams use those weapons.
Then these teams got up and started selling to the special forces of
foreign countries’ armed forces.
These guys came to Turkey and said,“ We, together with you…”
First they tried to buy the companies.
The companies said,“ You cannot take us over, you cannot buy us.”
Look at Turkish companies,
they said to Germany’s most important,
maybe one of the world’s top five brand- name companies: “ You cannot buy us.
You don’t have enough money.”
And these companies, in the 1900s…
At the beginning of the 2000s they were given a license to manufacture pistols,
and in the mid- 2000s they were given a license to make rifles.
So they are not companies that are one hundred fifty years old,
or two hundred years old or anything like that.
Those companies later came and said: “ Can we form
a partnership together with you?” Our people rejected them again. Now our companies
are buying the companies in Europe. Our companies are now buying the weapons
manufacturers in Europe.

Öyle 150 yıllık, 200 yıllık şirketler filan değil yani. O şirketler daha sonra dediler ki: "Biz sizinle beraber ortaklık yapabilir miyiz?" diye geldiler.
