There has been much back and forth on a Turkey – US visa crisis, coming just weeks after the Kurdistan vote. Turkish Deputy PM Simsek speaking in Washington says its all overblown. What grabbed my attention was Turkey’s 10% inflation on a Fed minutes day. We have had a slew of Fed Governors out today pining about 2% inflation. Be careful what you wish for.
Highlights From Turkey Deputy PM Simsek
- US-Turkey visa spat is “overblown” and expects it to be resolved soon
- Turkey struggling to keep inflation under 10 percent
- The investigations into the US embassy and consular employees in turkey were “routine,” not political
- The Safety and security of US diplomats and employees in Turkey is “top priority”
- Turkey is “not doing arbitrary arrests” and its judicial system is working
