  Proposal on investment in return for Iraqi oil

  Turkish state minister for foreign trade reiterated a proposal to make Turkish investments in Iraq in return for Iraqi oil.
  
  "I would like to re-state our proposal: Iraq can give Turkiye oil in exchange for the financing needed for Turkish investments here," Zafer Caglayan told a business forum in the Iraqi city of Basra. Caglayan said their main goal was to bring more investments into Iraq instead of selling more goods to the country.
  
  "There are eighty businessmen accompanying us in our visit here and they are willing to make investments in construction, tourism, food and service sectors," Caglayan said, adding that Turkiye placed special importance on its trade with Iraq.

  Re: Proposal on investment in return for Iraqi oil

  The Turkish foreign minister said on Friday that the Turks and Iraqis would shape up the future together. Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turks and Iraqis had lived together for centuries.
  
  "They will also shape up their future together," Davutoglu told a joint press conference with Iraqi Minister of Trade Safaa al-Deen al-Safi and Governor Abboud Cltag Mayah of the Iraqi city of Basra.
  
  Turkiye's State Minister Zafer Caglayan is accompanying Davutoglu during the visit. Davutoglu and Caglayan are the first foreign minister and state minister for foreign trade from a foreign country visiting this Iraqi city.
  
  Davutoglu said Turkiye considered Iraq's welfare and peace as its own.
  
  The foreign minister said Turkiye and Iraq signed 48 agreements in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad two weeks ago, and Caglayan and he were visiting several Iraqi cities including Basra, Irbil and Mosul together with businessmen and journalists to see how the signed agreements could be implemented.
  
  Davutoglu said he would open Turkiye's Consulate General in Basra later in the day.
  
  The foreign minister saw Iraq's future bright, and said hard days would pass.
  
  "Turkish-Iraqi cooperation will change the fate of the entire region in a positive way," Davutoglu also said.
  
  Also, Iraqi Minister of Trade al-Safi said Turkish-Iraqi relations would further improve with this historic visit.
  
  Governor Mayah said Iraq, particularly Basra, was a center of attraction for foreign investors, and Iraqis and Turks should give hand-in-hand and eradicate terrorism.
