Carlyle turns sights on Turkey

Carlyle Group has bought a 40% stake in Medical Park Saglik Hizmetleri, a Turkish healthcare group, for an undisclosed price and is in “serious talks” to buy stakes in two more Turkish companies, the US private equity house has said. The investment is Carlyle’s second in the country, after it bought a 50% stake in shipbuilder TVK Gemi Yapim in 2008. Can Deldag, head of Carlyle’s Turkish investment team, said talks were also underway with an energy company and a non-food retailer.
