RAPAPORT... Turkish exchange Borsa Istanbul signed an agreement with the World Diamond
Mark Foundation (WDM) to “institutionalize” diamond trading in Turkey and other
markets with which the bourse is connected.
The deal “cements the cooperation” between the
diversified Istanbul bourse and the WDM, according to a WDM statement January

"As the gateway for trade between Europe, the Middle
East and Asia, Turkey, by means of Borsa Istanbul and a significant number of
third parties, will play an important role as a WDM ambassador,” said Alex Popov,
