Receiving a delegation from the Ankara Chamber of Industry (ASO), Tuzmen told that, if a tax exemption is granted to provinces bordering neighbors, migration from these provinces to other parts of Turkey will come to an end.

"We will be able to close the economic gap between the provinces neighboring countries and other Turkish provinces if we do provide tax exemptions," Tuzmen said.

Tuzmen stressed that free trade zones in Turkey must also be exempt from all income and institutional taxes.
