Gul generally only plays good cop to Erdogan's bad cop - they are both cops and not the nice jolly bobby on the beat type. But Gul is right (and I agree with Ian, positioning himself well) - of course the economy should come first and of course any meddling with democratic law processes will erode confidence in the Turkish economy. This shows how desperate RTE has become - in his blind panic to keep power he has entirely lost the plot.
When you look at the Turkey Erdogan took over in 2003, love him or hate him, his handling of the economy turned things round entirely. Which makes the absolute pig's ear he is making of running the country in the last year or so even more disappointing to watch.
