“We are going to put together delegations that would involve business leaders to look at how to do business here in New York and how we can do business in Turkey,” he added.

HE HAS BEEN IN TURKEY SIX TIMES
In terms of cross-cultural relationships, the mayor-elect said he will ask young Americans to visit places like Istanbul and Cappadocia, and other places in Turkey “as we bring young Turkish students here to New York to enjoy the rich culture here as well.”

Adams has been in Turkey six times and said he looks forward to traveling more. He said Turkish people “have had an excellent ability to maintain the history as well as an extremely modern city.”

“And it’s that combination that draws you into understanding how Turkey has played a major role in shaping mankind and continues to do so in shaping the future,” he added.
