Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes a day after the “Turkey” newspaper published a report saying that Arab businessmen are intensifying the transfer of their projects outside Turkey with the escalation of hostility targeting Arabs and the racist incitement taking place in the country, causing losses to Turkey amounting to $2 billion.
