Saudis must boycott ‘everything Turkish,’ says commerce head after Erdogan remarks | Al Arabiya English

The head of Saudi Arabia’s Chamber of Commerce called on Saturday for a boycott of “everything Turkish” including imports, investment, and tourism, saying it is “the responsibility of every Saudi.”

The call for a boycott comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that some countries in the Arabian Gulf were targeting Turkey and pursuing policies that destabilized the region.

“It should not be forgotten that the countries in question did not exist yesterday, and probably will not exist tomorrow; however, we will continue to keep our flag flying in this region forever, with the permission of Allah,” said Erdogan on Thursday, addressing Turkey's General Assembly.
