Turkey is a member of the OECD which joined the organisation at its creation in 1960.
Since then there has been remarkable economic progress in the country, but this
development has been accompanied by many shocks and upheavals. These convulsions
originated sometimes in external economic circumstances, such as the oil crises of the
1970s and the Russian default of 1998, but more often in internal economic and political
circumstances.

Trkiye OECDnin organizasyona 1960ta (organizasyona) kuruluunda katlan bir yesidir.

O zamandan sonra lkede dikkate deer bir ekonomik ilerleme olmutur ancak bu gelime
birok ok ve karklkla birlikte olmutur. Bu sarslmalar bazen 1970lerin petrol krizleri ve
Rusyann 1998deki temerrd (ykmlln yerine getirmemesi) gibi d ekonomik
koullardan, ancak daha ok ierdeki ekonomik ve politik durumlardan kaynakland.

Since the 1960s, Turkey has gone through many political and economic crises with

2001 and resulted in a very difficult economic situation.
