A few days ago, the chairman of the Saudi Chamber of Commerce called on the people to boycott Turkish products due to the strained relations. A report by the Gulf News Agency claims that Turkish products are banned in the kingdom. The popular boycott campaign has gained momentum in recent days.
The boycott is backed by local companies.
Saudi officials say it was necessary to boycott all Turkish products because Turkey has shown hostility to the kingdom. It is the duty of every citizen to boycott the products of any country that does not respect the kingdom and the Saudi leadership. Abdullah Al-Uthaym, chairman of the Saudi Chamber of Commerce, has announced that he will stop imports from Turkey.
We have instructed all our customers, all relevant departments to stop importing products from Turkey and buying Turkish products from local suppliers and also get rid of Turkish product inventory in all our branches and Do not place a new order. On the other hand, the number of Saudi tourists visiting Turkey every year is likely to decrease. It has been reported that the number of Saudi tourists visiting Turkey could drop by 1.5 million after the boycott campaign. In all, the Turkish economy is expected to lose 20 20 billion.
