The Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists (Turkish: Türkiye İşadamları ve Sanayiciler Konfederasyonu), best known by the abbreviation TUSKON, is a employers' organization in Turkey, with about 40,000 members. Ninety percent of the TUSKON members are Small or Medium Establishments with fewer than 50 employees. TUSKON is engaged in lobbying all decision-makers at the local, regional, national and global levels.[1] Rızanur Meral, the managing director of SANKO Automotive Group, is the current president of TUSKON.
TUSKON is heavily connected to the Islamic Gülen movement of the Turkish preacher Fethullah Gülen.[2][3] The movement controls many businesses and organizations around the world, with many of their leaders having membership in TUSKON, such as Bank Asya.[2]
