Aksener blamed Erdogan for the economic crisis that Turkey is now experiencing, especially in relation to the exchange rate, and said: “The smaller the central bank reserves, the higher the risk premium, and the higher the risk premium, the higher the value of the dollar, and the higher the value of dollar, the higher the account for the deposit system. The lira, which is immune to exchange rate fluctuations, and the more it interferes with the dollar exchange rate, the bank’s reserves will decrease.”
