Erdogan: “Terrorists” behind Turkish lira plunge

Umongameli waseTurkey u-Recep Tayyip Erdogan ubhale "abanqolobi" izinto ezibangela ukuhla kwexabiso lemali yaseTurkey.

Akukho mahluko phakathi komnqolobi ophethe isixhobo… kunye nomnqolobi osebenzisa idola… ukwenza iTurkey iguqe,” utshilo u-Erdogan.

Umongameli waseTurkey wachaza ukuba izinga lotshintshiselwano lisetyenziswa "njengesixhobo."

U-Erdogan uthethe la mazwi kwintetho yakhe kwiqela lamagosa kwikomkhulu, i-Ankara, ngoLwesine.

The Turkish lira has plunged to record lows in recent weeks against the dollar, something which has led to jitters in the country’s economy.

U-Erdogan, nangona kunjalo, akazange achaze ngokuthe ngqo izinto ezisemva kwe-10-pesenti yokwehla kwexabiso le-lira.

Iiarhente zokukala ngetyala iStandard and Poor's kunye neMoody's zehlise umgangatho weTurkey ukuya kwimo engafanelekanga ngo-2016.

I-Moody's isandula ukulumkisa ukuba imeko ekhoyo ngoku yezopolitiko-uqoqosho eTurkey kungenzeka ukuba ibe nefuthe elingakumbi kwi-lira. ITurkey isenokujongana, utshilo uMoody's, "imeko yotyalo-mali ngokubanzi."

Abahlalutyi bathi abatyali-mali nabo baxhalabile ngakumbi malunga nokuphazamiseka kuka-Erdogan kumgaqo-mali welizwe, ngokuphindaphindiweyo becinezela ibhanki ephakathi ukuba inciphise inzala.

Kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo iTurkey ihlaselwe ngabanqolobi baseKurdish kunye nabanqolobi baseDaesh Takfiri. Lo mcimbi udale amathandabuzo ngokhuseleko kweli lizwe.

NgoJanuwari 1, i-ISIS yahlasela i-nightclub kwisixeko sase-Istanbul, yabulala abantu be-39, kuquka nabangaphandle be-30.

Kwinqanaba lezopolitiko, i-Erdogan elawulayo ye-Justice and Development Party (AKP) yenza iinzame zokwandisa amandla kamongameli.

NgoLwesithathu, kuqhambuke ukruthakruthwano epalamente phakathi kwamalungu omthetho ahluleleneyo ngalo mba. Amalungu omthetho atyhalana kwaye atshintshiselana ngexesha lokuxabana malunga nomthetho oyilwayo omalunga nokulungiswa komgaqo-siseko, oza kwandisa amagunya kamongameli.

Abagxeki baka-Erdogan bathi iinzame zombutho wakhe zokulawula igunya zifake ilizwe enzonzobileni yokonakala kwezopolitiko noqoqosho.
