The deadline for the application and payment was Feb. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means Turkey <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">has <\/span>raised an extra $1.5 billion to finance its procurement and modernization programs through the Defense Industry Support Fund. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The money will go to the Defense Industry Support Fund, which finances these programs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz said after the Feb. 13 deadline closed: &#8220;We did not expect that many applicants \u2026 This funding will go to the Defense Industry Support Fund to strengthen our armed forces and to increase our security forces&#8217; capabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkey&#8217;s procurement agency, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM), collects annual receipts through the fund. It consists of revenues from levies and indirect taxes on alcohol, tobacco and gambling, and <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">had been <\/span>was widely speculated to amount to $1 billion annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, the SSM said the revenues it collected from the Defense Industry Support Fund in 2013 totaled US $1.48 billion, much less than the all-time high of $2.9 billion in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More important, SSM said the fund&#8217;s accrued but not yet collected revenues from the Treasury amounted to $5.7 billion at the end of 2013. The Treasury could pay that amount to the SSM in installments, or SSM could take payment in the form of Treasury backing for future loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a
