Yes..I am, hopefully leaving with my apartment sold.
I don't mean (or want) to be rude, but in the grand scheme of things you've only been here five minutes, didn't do your research properly (as far as I can see from here) and now decided you don't like it. Which is allowed, and I hope things work out for you when you go back.
Anne - you need to remember that this is Turkey and things can turn on their head in the space of a weekend. The next year or so will be interesting and whatever the outcome there will still be a tourist industry in the south and south west of the country - way too much money invested by folks with influence and positions of power (irrespective of governing party) for it to disappear.
The demographics of the tourists may change, but places like Fethiye, Alanya, Altinkum etc will probably not change
that much to the casual visitor. I call it the Fethiye bubble effect, doesn't matter what happens in Istanbul, Ankara or the Borsa, main topic is the price of Efes or who does the best fillet steak - ok, that's maybe an over generalisation but its not a million miles away from many folks attitude.
Even if there is a massive shift to tourists from the east, GBP and EUR tourists still bring much needed (hard) foreign currency into the country, as do all the airline and package operators. They couldn't plug the gap that with USD's from Iran, Kuwait etc.
That's a short term (sort of) prognosis and purely my opinion.
Longer term... who knows. Folks complain (myself included) about AK party, but hey, the CHP have a whole different viewpoint regarding foreigners and if they managed to get into a position of power who knows what they would do. We don't have a strong army now who used to be relied on to keep extremists in check. Some say the solution is another coalition but that's what put TR in the sh1t economic position it was in during the eighties and nineties - nobody could agree so phuck all got done.
I do think if you're in it for the long haul then its a case of sitting tight and just letting the politicians get on with it. My better half lived and worked in Istanbul through two coup's, and the only real issue for foreigners was the rampant inflation - mind you, the government wasn't quite as overtly pious in those days!
However, if you think that at some point in the near future you may want to sell a property, and are reliant on getting a good price for it for pension pot or whatever, then I'd be paying plenty of attention to whats going on politically and financially in Ankara - and keeping an eye on the local property market.
Personally, we've sold up bar our place in Karagözler and moved the bulk of our money out of TL. But in some respects we're also in it for the long haul with that property, I like it too much as do our girls to consider selling just now. Fethiye would have to be dry and the girls hijabed up before we'd consider bailing!
Bottom line is that only you can decide when to stick, twist or fold...
