What is the reason for continuing calls to boycott Turkish goods?
Renewed tension between the two countries.
What are the latest developments regarding goods coming from Turkey?
The American “Bloomberg” revealed a deliberate obstruction of the entry of Turkish goods into the Kingdom.
Saudi calls for a boycott of goods imported from Turkey have resumed against the backdrop of tension in relations between the two countries, in conjunction with information talking about an official obstruction to the entry of Turkish goods into the Kingdom.
The head of the Saudi Council of Chambers of Commerce, Ajlan Al-Ajlan, called for a boycott of goods from Turkey to the kingdom.
Al-Ajlan said, in a tweet posted on his Twitter page: “Boycotting everything that is Turkish, whether at the level of import, investment or tourism, is the responsibility of every Saudi, the trader and the consumer, in response to the continuing hostility of the Turkish government against our leadership, our country and our citizens.”
The Saudi Council of Chambers of Commerce is a body that includes businessmen from the private sector, and this call comes amid reports from traders that disputes between Saudi Arabia and Turkey disrupt the flow of goods between the two regional powers.
In late September 2020, Turkish companies said that Saudi Arabia is blocking the entry of goods coming from Turkey, as the American agency “Bloomberg” quoted the Turkish agent of “AP Moller-Maersk A / S” that shipments from Turkey to Saudi ports are subject to a possible import ban, or Slowdown in customs clearance procedures.
It also quoted Kemal Gul, the owner of “Gulsan Transport”, a logistic company based near Turkey’s southern border with Syria, that Corona gave the Saudi authorities an excuse to restrict the entry of Turkish goods, noting that such cases occur with Iran or Iraq, and added: “It seems to me that they will now hinder sea transport.”
Gul, who is also a board member in the National Transportation Union, said he receives frequent complaints about this problem from other logistical companies.
During the past days, pro-government Saudis renewed their calls to boycott Turkey through social media, against the backdrop of political conflicts between Ankara and a number of Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
On Twitter, the hashtag “#block_turkishproducts” was repeated, which remained in the list of the most popular hashtags in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain, while others demanded the ban on Turkish series, while others demanded a boycott of tourism in Turkey.
