I’m a little surprised Ishak Alaton isn’t on the list. He’s the co-founder and chairman of of Alarko Holdings one of the largest conglomerates in Turkey. He’s a Jewish businessman born and raised in Turkey, has been one of Turkey’s top business leader’s since the 1950’s and is also well respected for his human rights work and his out spoken views of the Turkish authorities over the years.

He seems like an interesting character, he gave an interview to Zaman a few months ago.
