Tatlises, koji se bavi građevinskom industrijom i ugostiteljstvom, i čak je vlasnik i jedne autobuske kompanije, bio je jedan od nekoliko istaknutih Kurda koji su prije par mjeseci prisustvovali važnom sastanku s premijerom Recepom Tayyipom Erdoganom.
Tatlises, who is involved in the construction and restaurant business and even owns his own bus company, was among several prominent Kurds who attended a high-profile meeting with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan a few months ago.
