Turkish Businessmen and Industrialists Confederation
The Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists (Turkish: Türkiye İşadamları ve Sanayiciler Konfederasyonu), best known by the abbreviation TUSKON, was an employers' organization in Turkey, with about 40,000 members. It was founded in 2005 by seven business federations.[1] Ninety percent of the TUSKON members were small or medium establishments with fewer than 50 employees. TUSKON engaged in lobbying all decision-makers at the local, regional, national and global levels.[2] Rızanur Meral, the managing director of SANKO Automotive Group, was the last president of TUSKON.[3] TUSKON was closely connected to the Islamic Gülen movement of the Turkish preacher Fethullah Gülen.[4][5] The movement controlled many businesses and organizations around the world, with many of their leaders having membership in TUSKON, such as Bank Asya.[4] TUSKON was closed following the coup attempt in July 2016.[3] See alsoReferences
