E-trade giant Amazon is planning to acquire minority shares in Turkey’s local gift website Çiçeksepeti.com.

“We are very pleased to be a part of ÇiçekSepeti’s growth strategy,” said Amazon’s European Retail Vice President Greg Greeley. Greeley said Amazon was focused on making ÇiçekSepeti into an affordable and comfortable online option for customers who want to send flowers and gifts.
