This week’s edition of “Türkiye in Focus” explores several key topics:
- Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek commented on the recent peak in inflation, suggesting that the most challenging period might be behind us.
- Researcher Şeymanur Yönt discusses the state and prospects of the Turkish economy with SETA’s Deniz İstikbal.
- The implications of Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s recenttrip to China are analysed by researcher Burak Elmalı.
- The widespread rumours regarding refugees from Rwanda arriving in Türkiye highlight how migration has been weaponised in the Turkish public sphere combined with the rapid spread of conspiracy theories.
- Although still early to say for sure, there may be signs of a new shift in Turkish domestic politics.
