Moscow, Russia, April 15, 2010 – Focus Reports, the contract publishing division of Focus Communication, is due to publish the 2nd part of its special Turkey Business Guide for Kommersant, Russia’s #1 business daily, later this year. 

The 1st edition was published in March 2010, to wide acclaim in Russian business and governmental communities. The Turkey Business Guide is, indeed, more topical, and timely, than ever. 2010 has proven to be a watershed year in the countries’ relations. Not only is Russia now Turkey’s #1 trading partner, the signing of the South Stream pipeline deal and commitment to the Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline have brought Turkey on the cusp of achieving its ambition of becoming Europe’s primary energy corridor.

Part 2 of the Turkey Business Guide illuminates how the emerging new era of Russo-Turkish cooperation expands and deepens economic ties. It will spotlight the accomplishments of select Turkish industries, standing to benefit from new Russian opportunities. Sectors include energy, finance, transportation & logistics, telecoms, and textile.

Publication is tentatively scheduled for August.
