22 years ago Turkiye was pitiful semi U.S. colony state begging U.S. to sell some atack helicopters and UAVs no matter price while knowing very well PKK's main sponsor none other then U.S itself.Even though same Turkiye was ignoring Neo-Gladio(Gulenist) infiltration in state and allowing U.S. create PKK state in Iraq current Turkiye prevented same thing from happening in Syria.So certain amount of Sıcak Para was coming and with Ecevit taken down by Gulenist created/supported AKP taking crown Sıcak Para amount tremendously increased(2001-2008 economic miracle period you guys want to return so much).Also that old Turkiye's arms industry no where near powerful as today it was zero threat to U.S. plans in the region.Guys, I've been in Turkey for 10 days, Turkish pensioners can't afford a lot of things for themselves comparing past years however even Ukrainian tourists start enjoying the cheap prices in Türkiye while Ukrainian economy getting better.
Currently the problem in Turkey is Turkish people have little income. Turkish People are really suffering with minumum wages and pensions.
When my father became pensioner 22 years ago his first pension was 750 USD , now it is just 350 USD.
Note that 750 USD of 22 years ago today will be 1250 USD, calculating inflation in USA.
