PM says Turkey to be among top ten economies in 2023

Turkey's prime minister said on Friday that Turkey would take its place among the top ten economies in the world in 2023. Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey could achieve that goal by investing in education and R&D.

"We cannot achieve this goal by only monitoring or copying developments," Erdogan said during the inauguration ceremony of a technopark at Istanbul's Bogazici University.

Erdogan also said Turkey was in the third place among world economies in regard to growth, and the first in Europe.
