. "Tekel, (Turkish, literally single-hand or monopoly and generally capitalised as TEKEL) was a Turkish tobacco and alcoholic beverages company. It was nationalised in 1925 from a parastatal (government owned/controlled) company, the R\u00E9gie. A joint foreign and Ottoman consortium, the R\u00E9gie was short for \"La Soci\u00E9t\u00E9 de la r\u00E9gie co-int\u00E9ress\u00E9e des tabacs de l'Empire Ottoman\". Tekel evolved into the sole manufacturer and distributor of all alcohol and tobacco products in Turkey."@en . "3900"^^ . "2.4E9"^^ . . . . . . "Tekel"@en . . . "3.6E9"^^ . "1862Z"^^ . .
