🚨🇹🇷TURKEY ANNOUNCES $14 BILLION PLAN TO CLOSE ITS ECONOMIC GAP
Turkey has unveiled a $14 billion development plan to narrow the economic divide between its Kurdish-majority southeast and the rest of the country.
The focus includes Şanlıurfa, a historically rich city known as the "City of Prophets" and a cultural hub, but with a GDP per capita of just $4,971—far below the national average of $13,243.
The plan promises 198 projects and a $1,400 annual income boost by 2028.
The timing is notable: Turkish officials recently met jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, fueling speculation he may urge an end to the 40-year conflict that’s killed over 40,000 people.
