Otokar

🚨 Otokar (Koç Holding) Boycott Reasons and Overview

Otokar is a registered brand operating under Turkey's largest industrial and commercial conglomerate, Koç Holding, with extensive operations spanning automotive, consumer durables, energy, and defense. The inclusion of Otokar on boycott lists stems directly from Koç Holding and its subsidiaries' institutional, industrial, and defense ties with israel:

• Strategic Partnership with israeli FinTech (Nayax): Koç Holding's distribution subsidiary Düzey entered into an official strategic partnership with Tel Aviv-based payment technology company Nayax, deploying israeli payment and telemetry solutions across regional automated retail networks.
• Direct Subsidiary Operations in israel (Beko): Koç Holding's global consumer appliances flagship, Beko, operates directly in israel through its wholly owned subsidiary (Beko israel), investing in local commercial offices and showroom expansions in Petah Tikva.
• Defense Collaboration with israeli Arms Manufacturer (Rafael): Koç Holding's defense division, Otokar, integrated the "Samson" remote weapon station developed by israeli state-owned weapons contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems onto its Tulpar armored infantry fighting vehicle.
• Hosting israeli Diplomatic Missions: Group subsidiary Yapı Kredi hosts the israeli Consulate General in Istanbul within its commercial real estate property (Yapı Kredi Plaza), providing key infrastructure to the state's diplomatic and commercial missions.
• Corporate Double Standards: Despite public rhetoric from holding executives expressing sympathy for Palestinian civilians, group subsidiaries maintain uninterrupted commercial contracts, defense integrations, and corporate engagements linked to israel.

Commercial earnings from Otokar contribute directly to Koç Holding's consolidated balance sheet. For complete corporate records, defense filings, and partnership disclosures, visit the 👉 Koç Holding Boycott Dossier.
