Temel Kotil, head of the state-run Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI), echoed that the sector is on track to reach the $6 billion export target, including $1 billion by TAI. "Türkiye is creating a revolution in the field of exports," Kotil stressed. According to Özgür Güleryüz, who runs another defense industry company, STM, Teknofest is crucial in showing that the country's defense industry moves as a single body. "All companies are here, together, we are working very hard to create a little more excitement in our people, to attract their interest and to make them feel a little pride," he told AA.
