13 republican – mostly Maykop – businessmen will take part in the XII international exhibition “Fashion” which should take place in Istanbul on August 26-30. The Adygeya delegation will be headed by the deputy head of the Maykop town administration Yuri Autlev.
“The initiative was sounded by the Turkish association of cloth producers – one of the organizers of the exhibition, - he said in the conversation with IA “Caucasian unit” correspondent. Its representatives contacted the Trading-Industrial chamber of Adygeya with such offer. And all the expenses connected with our trip, will be paid by the receiving part”.
As Autlev mentioned, Turkey is very interested in realization of its clothes. In accordance with that they chose the businessmen- selling the clothes.
Let’s note, in Turkey there are not less than 3 million Adygs. And representatives of this Diaspora – industrialists and businessmen, among whom there are big producers of clothes, try to strengthen the economic communications with their historic Native land since the beginning of the 90s of the XX century.
Such efforts were actualized in connection to coming to powers of the Adygeya ex-president Khazret Sovmen. During those years with the offer to organize an economic forum in Maykop the Russian-Turkish business council contacted the republican government.
But all those efforts ended with that the most active businessmen-Adygs became “persons non grata”. They were detained by the border in the airports (Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi) and despite of the official invitations and visas they were returned back.
Now such prohibitions are removed, and some of the businessmen had already visited their historic Native land again. But they do not say about economic ties any more.
