Warning that rising oil prices could considerably increase Turkey oil import costs and influence the economy negatively, State Minister for the Economy Mehmet Simsek said, "Instead of escalating political disputes, we should focus on our economic growth and maintain the reforms." Stressing that the national income had increased by three times during the last five years thanks to the government's economy policies, he said that political and economic stability should be preserved to avert possible difficulties in the economy. Stating that Turkey's economy needs more skilled workers, Simsek also said that the government would implement a new program to train skilled workers, needed by different sectors.
