"The trade turnover between our countries may reach $100 bln as of 2028 year-end. The bilateral trade volume is expected to be $70-75 bln this year," the businessman said.

The Turkish-Russian trade turnover totaled about $55 bln, he noted. "The growth trend is obvious," Ekmekcibasi said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) presentation in Istanbul.
