B.Batkhishig also stated that it is important to develop relationship between two countries, not only announcing. Mongolian and Turkish citizens are exempt from visa requirement for their travels to Turkey up to 30 days which is huge development.
Turkey has population of 80 million. If 80 thousand tourists travel to Mongolia every year, it would be a big support to Mongolian tourism sector. Tourist from Turkey came to Mongolia with purpose of showing honors to statues of ancestors, but it takes 1-day travel to see the statue in Orkhon and another 1 day to go back which should be faster.

Economic relation
Republic of Turkey made export of USD 400 billion last year. Only USD 40 million was made to Mongolia which is low.
Auto transportation between two counties requires many permissions due to going through Russia. However there is a transportation demand from Turkey to Mongolia, trucks are going back without shipment. In this case, air transportation is the most useful option.
Ahmet Yazal also stated that tourism develops in the countries where "Turkish Airlines" have direct flight. 8.5 million Turkish tourist travel abroad. It is not a dream to attract few of them, because Mongolian beautiful nature and bilateral historical communication can be used for developing tourism.
Photo exhibition of half century history of Mongolia and Turkey was presented during "Half century history and development tendency" conference.
