He added, “The statement stated that Turkey has provided a high level of political commitment to develop an approach against money laundering and terrorist financing and has taken steps in this regard.”
Vegetarian emphasized that Turkey is broadly compliant with all FATF Standards of Special Importance.
He said, “The unrealistic allegations that an international financial investigation will be opened against our country are baseless and also harm Turkey’s reputation. There is absolutely no question of opening a financial investigation against our country or putting it on the FATF blacklist.”

And he added, “The report, which was prepared by a representative of a political party and is almost similar to the newsletter of terrorist organizations, should be considered an expression of annoyance with our country’s struggle against terrorism in all fields and the successes it has achieved in this struggle.”
