RIYADH, 7 October 2020, (TON): Saudi Arabia’s Chamber of Commerce asks its Nationals to Boycott Turkish goods including investment  and tourism.

Saudi Arabia’s Chamber of Commerce head Ajlan Al Ajlan on Saturday tweeted,” The boycott of everything Turkish, whether on the level of import, investment or tourism, is the responsibility of every Saudi – trader and consumer – in response to the continued hostility of the Turkish government against our leadership, our country and our citizens.”

Although, overwhelming majority of the people of Turkey love their Saudi brothers and consider Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as their second country, however, the development surfaced after Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan passed statements of world politics including war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. During his recent address to the Turkish General Assembly, Erdogan said, “It should not be forgotten that the countries in question did not exist yesterday, and probably will not exist tomorrow; however, we will continue to keep our flag flying in this region forever, with the permission of Allah.” The media carried out negative propaganda and cautioned many countries of the intentions of Turkish Presidents statement.

Turkey was quoted also to have accused Arab countries of destabilizing the region. Although, Erdogan blamed the Arab countries for instability in the Middle East and did not name Saudi Arabia but the statements from Tel Aviv and NATO Headquarters compelled Saudi Arabia to express their view point.
