We continue to develop and develop with our projects that are growing day by day, and we will continue to do so.”

Gorgun, underlining that they are the only company in the defense industry to receive an award from Turkey within the scope of the International Safety Awards, said, “We will continue to move forward with the same determination to work in the continuation of 2022 and transfer this to our financial results.
