Turkish president Erdogan speaks in Ankara
- Turkey is under siege in economy and other areas
- Attacks on Turkey are expected to continue
- US trade actions are against WTO principles
- US is attempting to stab Turkey in the back
- Turkey's economic fundamentals are sound, are in place
- Says that lira would settle at a rational level soon
- No retreat from free market economy
- Those spreading speculations will pay
- "We will either find a way, or find a way"
Nothing to comfort those expecting him to help arrest the lira's decline. He remains adamant in not going down the path on hiking rates and his comments here very much signals that he isn't about to change that train of thought just yet.
