Syria-Turkey co-operation brings economic opportunity - 23 Dec 09

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister, is expected to sign a landmark trade deal with Syria in Damascus later on Wednesday.

Five years after the two countries signed a free trade agreement, trade volume has reached nearly $2bn a year. Officials are now aiming to double that figure.

Rula Amin reports on the growing presence of Turkish business in Syria.

Pride is a sign of weakness. You talk, how you will rule the world and how much you despise Europe, when in fact you live in Europe and profit from European society. How do you want to dominate Europe? Start a nuclear war? Make a trade war? Do not be a child. Why should the EU need you? To have borders with Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan? Do you think that the ordinary people want that?

@Evagoras69 why would Turkey want to join a bankcrupt continent. All Europe is doing is trying to bail out its own countries from complete collapse.
