Let’s sit around a table with mutual respect and understanding.” Haber Türk: “Watch out, you may see GMO,” the daily said in the headline of its main story yesterday, reporting that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has intervened in an ongoing debate about a recently adopted regulation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The prime minister ordered that ships which carry genetically modified soybean and corn be denied the right to enter Turkey, while Agriculture Minister Mehdi Eker said the regulation aims to put the imports of GMOs under supervision, contrary to the arguments of some circles who say that the regulation will make the entry of GMOs to Turkey easier.
