I bet there are a lot of ex pats all over Turkey who are now thinking w t f have we done. And a lot who were planning to sell up are thinking that the price of there property is going to drop and drop.
Yes and quite a lot saying, what am I going to spend all these extra liars on?

Liars sounds about right!

Turkish will find it very expensive to buy from the English now.

Best thing we did was buying with money we could afford to lose ten years ago. Sounds smug I know but it was a conscious decision back then.

To be fair they (RTE and puppet Basci) are not doing nothing. Today they are predicted to throw $100million at the problem. The thing is that it doesn't work and the more they keep doing it the more it doesn't work.

And it looks like they threw a big chunk of it in at around 11.30 (Turkish time).
Chart shows $:TL.

Have no fear, we are hoping to come to Turkey for a family holiday and will need visas - so there's another $80 they can throw at it.

Scunner - the George Soros of Calis. (Apparently you've been called a lot of things in Calis: but I bet not that).
