Free Man "Kazakhstan"

Kazakhstan, with a deep-rooted history, took its place on the maps in 1991. Considering the word Kazak, which has its origins in Turkish, means Free Man, we can conclude that the Kazakhs are a nation that is keen on its independence. Kazakhstan Republic is in Central Asia and is bordered by Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. This country, with the ninth largest area in the world, also borders the Caspian Sea and Lake Aral.

Export Source: Rich Underground Resources

Kazakhstan's lands are suitable for agriculture. However, if you ask what lies at the heart of the economy and how this country develops, the answer would be "rich underground resources". Especially oil, uranium, gold, and iron reserves are substantial. When we consider that 26% of all chromium in the world, together with 20% of gold and 17% of uranium, are in these lands, we can easily conclude that our answer is pertinent. While there are rich coalfields in Karaganda Region, there are also oil fields in the Ural-Emba Basin. In addition, these lands are excavated for copper, lead (Altay, Kara-Tav, Ala-Tav, and Tekeli), zinc (Alma-Ata), iron (Karkaraly, Balhac, Cez-Kazgon, Ata-Su), manganese, tin, tungsten, molybdenum, and antimony. Because more mineral and raw materials are produced in the country than needed, 90% of metallic bismuth, sponge titanium, copper clay and refined copper, manganese and concentrates; 80% of oil, metallic lead, and zinc together with more than 50% of natural gas, coal, iron ore, and chromium produced in the country are exported. When we look at the discovered material wealth under Kazakhstan's lands, this amount reaches more than USD 2 trillion in value.

What are Our Commercial Relations with Kazakhstan?

When Kazakhstan declared its independence on 16 December 1991, the Turkish Republic became one of the first two countries to recognize its independence. In 1992, our diplomatic relations started to demonstrate themselves on the stage of history. As a result, economic relations began between Turkey and Kazakhstan. Following Kazakhstan's declaration of independence, the infrastructure of economic and commercial relations between the two countries started to form, and around 100 protocols, cooperation agreements and accords were signed between the two countries.   When we consider the current state of affairs in light of this information, we can see that products exported from Turkey to Kazakhstan are led by jewelry, woven carpets, wires, cables, electrical conductors and iron and steel screws, bolts, nuts, earth scrapers, destoners, and mineral ore scraper machinery. Among Turkish imports from Kazakhstan are refined copper and copper alloys, petroleum gases, raw lead, gold, copper alloys, and chromium oxides. When we examine products with export potential, we can see construction materials, cables and wires, electrical machinery, food processing and packaging machinery, medical equipment and medicines, packaging material and hygienic paper products.
