ANKARA (AA) - Turkey's president on Thursday accused the West, particularly the U.S., of trying to make things difficult for Turkey before Sunday's local elections.
Exchange rate fluctuations are an operation by the West, particularly the U.S., to paint Turkey into a corner, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a televised interview.
Such attempts to manipulate exchange rates are a political imposition before the looming local polls, he added.
