Comment by Turkish president Erdogan, as reported by the Anadolu Agency

There is no word mentioned by the media outlet on when the comment is given, but such words aren't encouraging for those expecting Erdogan to defend the lira when he breaks his silence later on in the day.

And even if he does, unless there is concrete action (massive rate hike by the CBRT or capital controls), expect any dips in USD/TRY to be bought up again.
