The sad truth is, one major party in this country has wet dreams of being a socialist country.

If you are talking about industrial goods and technology Turkey is pretty good at manufacturing last-generation items at a rather competitive price. Things like refridgerators or CRT TVs. Some European car brands keep building certain models in Turkey even after the new models have become available in markets like Germany (e.g. the Opel Astra "classic").

Other than that it's mostly agrarian goods.

"The beatings will continue until innovation improves."

That's the spirit! I see, you get what it means to be European!
