When asked whether or not instability in the Middle East created an opportunity for Turkish banks to increase their market share, Yilmaz told SETimes, "we worry for our neighbours" and don't want to profit at their expense.
Upitan je li nestabilnost na Bliskom istoku stvorila prigodu za turske banke da povećaju svoj tržišni udio, Yilmaz je kazao za SETimes: "Mi se brinemo za naše susjede " i ne želimo ostvarivati dobit na njihov račun.
