But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded by saying that the recent fluctuations in the financial markets do not reflect the reality of the Turkish economy, and that foreign investors should be confident in the strength of the Turkish economy.
Speaking among AKP members in Ankara, Erdogan urged Turkish citizens who keep foreign currencies or gold in their homes to introduce these assets into the production cycle and the country’s economic system.
