Turkey’s free trade pact with Ukraine will be completed later this year, well after the year end 2018 deadline announced last November in Istanbul by President Poroshenko and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Stepan Kubiv, Minister of Economic Development and Trade, said at a government meeting last week that the deal is 95% complete. Still to be hammered out are 1,200 points — out of a total of 21,000. Ukraine’s farm exports are a big sticking point for Turkey.
