Erdogan Complains About Protests Hurting Economy
2025-03-27
Consequences, man. You worked hard to earn them.
ISTANBUL (AP) ; Turkey's president on Wednesday accused the political opposition of "sinking the economy" during the country's largest protests in more than a decade over the arrest of Istanbul's mayor, the biggest challenger to Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 22-year rule.

The opposition has called for a boycott of companies that it says support Erdogan's government. The Turkish president accused the opposition of being "so desperate that they would throw the country and the nation into the fire."

In his address to lawmakers with his Justice and Development Party, or AKP, Erdogan added that "sabotage targeting the Turkish economy will be held accountable before the courts."

Unemployment about 9%, inflation about 40%, deteriorating currency and that was before the protests

#1  Practicing Islam hurts the economy, but that seems to be the outcome either way.
