Gulf States are temporarily supporting Türkiye with capital

Istanbul According to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey has been temporarily supported with capital from the Gulf States. The countries have thus provided relief for the Turkish central bank and the financial markets, said Erdogan in an interview with the broadcaster CNN Turkey late Thursday evening (local time).

“Our economy and the banking and financial system are quite strong. For the time being, some Gulf countries have put money into our system – even if it’s only for a short time.” After the runoff on May 28, he wanted to thank the donors. Erdogan did not name any specific countries, and the politician also left the amount of aid open.
