The enforcement of fines totaling 4.3 billion TL imposed on the company has been suspended.
This decision temporarily puts an end to the claims made by the Romanian side against Otokar and the financial sanctions imposed. This event raises questions about the future of the armoured vehicle production project.
According to the information obtained, Otokar had signed a contract with Romania for the production of 1059 light armoured vehicles. This contract was of great importance for Turkey's defence industry.
