Negotiations are in progress here for the establishment of a Turkish-Israel Trade Corporation, it was announced today by Harry Gretske, an American businessman who represents nearly a dozen Israel corporations.
Mr. Gretske pointed out that in the absence of a formal commercial treaty between Turkey and Israel such a corporation would serve as an important link between the two nations. He estimated that it would be able to dispose of some $10,000,000 worth of Turkish agricultural products and raw materials annually. He said that his contacts with Turkish businessmen have convinced him that they are eager to deal with the Jewish state.
Mr. Gretske is leaving Turkey this week for a short trip to Greece, where he has already helped from a Greco-Israel Trading Corporation.
