Turkish Embassy in Muscat - Business and Turkish Economy-Invest in the SoutheasternProject(GAP) The South-eastern Anatolia Project, commonly known by its acronym, GAP (Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi), is designed to bring the Turkey's remote and often arid south-eastern provinces to the levels of prosperity seen elsewhere in the country. Now half complete, the overall aim of GAP is not merely to enhance income levels in the region, but, through related investments - in industry, transportation, tourism, telecommunications, health care, education, and rural and urban housing and infrastructure -- to raise the general standard of living in what is today Turkey's most remote area. The region covering Batman, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Mardin, Siirt, Şanlıurfa, Şırnak and Kilis provinces in the Southeast Anatolia Region is defined as the "GAP Region". www.turkishembassyoman.org /groupb/gap.htm   (507 words)
