Signification
A formal gathering for work.

Meetings almost always start with tea or coffee. It is a sign of hospitality and respect. Small talk about family or health is expected before diving into the agenda. The most senior person usually opens and closes the meeting. While being on time is valued, a 5-10 minute delay is often tolerated in Turkish business settings, unlike in Germany or Japan.
