In remarks apparently aimed at defusing tensions between the two countries on Wednesday, Simsek told an event in Washington that Turkey considered the safety and security of US diplomats and employees in Turkey a "top priority", and described the detention of staff at US missions in Turkey as "routine" investigations.

A Response from Dr. Yalcin Ayasli

A Response from Dr. Yalcin Ayasli

As expressed in my various prior statements to the media, I decided to divest from Borajet last December, believing that it would help resolve the economic troubles that the company was facing at the time.  These difficulties arose as a result of baseless allegations that damaged the reputation of my company and myself personally. My intention with this sale was to protect BoraJet employees and customers by helping Borajet remain in business.

Backed By Chobani's Founder, A Local Coffee Chain Tries To Revolutionize The Industry

Arriving in Philadelphia with few possessions and little money, Todd Carmichael started walking the city with business partner JP Iberti to scope out storefronts. In short order, they took on a 50-year lease in a bustling downtown neighborhood, renovated the space themselves and, in May 1994, opened the first La Colombe café. La Colombe Coffee Roasters, with 750 employees, now runs 26 cafés in five cities, distributes its coffee to some 3,500 restaurants, hotels, cafés and retailers and operates an online store. The company says revenue is approaching $100 million. Following a 2015 capital infusion from Chobani LLC Chairman and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya, the company early this year introduced its canned, chilled Draft Latte line nationally, quickly becoming a force in the U.S. ready-to-drink coffee category.

Boeing Earns US $11B Contract From Recovering Turkish Airlines

In recent reports, Turkish Airlines revealed that the company is planning to acquire 40 of Boeing (NYSE:BA)'s 787-9 Dreamliners. This has been a long-awaited arrangement in which indicates that the carrier has bounced back after a terrorist attack on its Istanbul headquarters in the preceding year. Once it gets done, the deal is estimated at a value of US$11 billion before the expected concessions for massive aircraft procurements. According to the pact on Thursday in a brief signing ceremony in New York, such decision sprouted from years of market research. Also, as the airline designed its expansion, negotiations for wide-body planes were done.

SNC would fly the payloads — which could include scientific experiments as well as deployable satellites — aboard its Dream Chaser space plane during a two- to three-week flight.
