ANKARA: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated this while addressing the 30th Ordinary General Assembly of Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEIK).
He also elaborated a number of important issues, such as the mobilization against the volatility of foreign currency.
At the beginning of the speech, the Erdogan reiterated his call to citizens and businessmen to use the Turkish lira following the attack through currency speculation on the economy and said: “I know that some of you have met these calls with irony. However, there is a truth we have experienced since the 1994 crisis.” Noting that some are trying to manipulate the Turkish economy via currency speculation, which has no rational economic reason, President Erdogan said the main goal is to pave the way for political operations. Erdogan said to foil plots schemed against neighboring countries – Russia, China and Azerbaijan – steps will be taken by using local currencies and thus getting rid of currency pressures on imports and exports.
