ANKARA, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The United States has become the top
market for Turkish arms as the exports from Turkey's defense sectors
increased by 38 percent in 2012, Turkish media said Monday.
Analysts said that the upcoming gun control measures in the United
States had led to a surge in the demand for more firearms, which
boosted Turkey's gun exports to the country.
Statistics showed that the Turkish defense companies increased their
exports to 1.3 billion U.S. dollars last year, a 43-percent
significant increase over 2011.
Among the arms buyers, the United States ranked No.1 by purchasing a
490 million dollars worth of defense products from Turkey last year.
The United Arab Emirates followed with 101 million dollars, while
Saudi Arabia came third with 99 million dollars.
Turkey's defense sector aims to sell 1.5 billion worth of arms this year.
