Correct me if I'm wrong, but economy isn't super good, so should people graduate into something that can't feed them and keep a house above their heads ?

Workers Union and workers rights, non existing right ? So minimum salary ?

refugees granted right to work, so our people can't find jobs because some greedy factory owner already hired the cheaper refugeses who're btw living and being fed by tax money in refugee camps ?

Well I am sure there are other things to take into consideration, but I can't really recall everything, but the above is pretty bad as it is.

I think a smart factory owner would look into automating processes instead of using cheap labour.

Turkey needs to increase it's railway network. most of the railway come from either the Ottoman era or single party era and their are still countless cities that are not connected to each other yet.

Conventional railways are the bloodline of every big industrial nation. If Turkey has an ambition to be a big economy it has to build more and more railways- both conventional for delivering freight and transporting people and HSR for fast transport between big population centers.

Unfortunately rail transport have always been neglected and is nowhere near where it must be. Turkey's terrain makes railway developments harder and more expensive. In Turkey it has always been about highways, highways, highways and since recently- airports. If you want to develop you must invest harder in Railways and Sea Ports.

Agreed, Ukraines life-line is literally its Soviet era rail network. We need more conventional rail too.

I agree a lot with you guys. I am pretty certain that most of the freightline being built were/are pretty old. I believe some of them are from back the time of Atatürk.

How much has AKP built. bullet train line can't be used for freight transport.

Tbh I know they're building the new factory in western Türkiye because the infrastructure is so good, but I would have hoped they'd build it elsewhere to diversify a bit. Especially since government seem to give a lot of benefits with the investment, it should have been used to galvanize and reinvigorate other parts of the country.
