  Positive Approach Is Important

  Turkey is a natural platform for its glamorous past and history, natural geographic conditions and being the birth place of many civilizations. It is an unexplored and unspoiled territory. It has many different tastes like the South beaches, North forests and like historical ruins on the top of a mount Nemrut in the east. It also has four seasons throughout all year. It has been the meeting point of the ethnic cultures and the history of civilization. These are the most important elements to advertise Turkey to the world and these natural opportunities are crucial for our prestige and tourism.
  
  People from different regions do not have a positive approach because they are not familiar with our culture. They see us as an Arabian country and judge us without having a clear conception and they consider us unqualified. That is the main reason why we need to provide right information about Turkey. We need to create the correct picture to prevent biased ideas. In order to evaluate Turkish movie industry correctly, first of all Turkish culture and values must be taken into consideration.
  
  The technical deficiency also unables us to serve the movie industry. Only production wise, some can be provided but because of the duties we are not advantageous. To pay duties over the investment limits the investor therefore selects the countries with incentive. We have some projects with foreign partners that we want to bring about but because of the conditions these projects remain as ideas only. If we have some changes in the taxation system it will be convenient mutually. We wish government to support Turkish movie industry more. Although Turkey compared to the world need to improve in some matters it is a golden opportunity and a continuous source of investment for the world movie industry.
