During this year, the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, visited several US IT companies on a mission to negotiate contracts for an educational project called the FATIH Project. The Turkish government intends to purchase tablets worth several billion dollars for most of its educational institutions, and the visit to the USA was aimed at motivating large American companies to support the project with beneficial offers for all parties involved.
Considering the importance of the project, but also the large sums of money involved, Tim Cook would have decided to visit Turkey at the beginning of next year to negotiate with Recep Tayyip Erdogan a possible purchase of several million iPad tablets. Turkey intends to invest up to 4 billion dollars in this initiative and to buy over 10 million tablets in the coming years, so for Apple we are talking about an extremely profitable business from all points of view.
