ANKARA, TURKEY, February 11, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Copernicus International Consulting announced today that it is further expanding its worldwide business opportunity creation network to include Turkey and its neighbourhood countries. Working from Ankara and Istanbul, Copernicus Turkish experts will assist clients in this strategic and rapidly developing region.
