Gul: "Turkey should produce and develop technology"

President Abdullah Gul yesterday attended the opening ceremony of the 25th National Information Congress in Ankara. Addressing the ceremony, Gul said that Turkey's IT sector has seen critical developments in recent years, adding, "Turkey cannot be a country that only transfers technology, it must be a country that can produce and develop technology. This is important not only economically but also politically, and for security and other reasons. We shouldn't miss out on this opportunity."
