With the Turkish lira in free fall, just as Asia Unhedged has predicted this past year, Turkey’s stock market has shrunk to rounding-error dimensions.
The whole of the Istanbul 30 Index, the country’s blue chip gauge, is presently worth just 176 billion Turkish lira, or a mere US$33 billion. That’s the market cap of the Monster Beverage Company in the US.
US$33 billion is a rounding error in China’s global net asset position, and the likeliest outcome of the crash of Tayyip Erdogan’s kleptocracy is that Turkey will simply be a wholly-owned subsidiary of China. 1,500 years after the Han dynasty kicked the Turks out of Central Asia, it will buy them out as well.

Darvesh Sahil No dignified human should tolerate superiority of others.
Turkey had it’s greatest time as Constantinople. Ever since it was infected by the Islamic plague, it has only been a source of suffering to the rest of the world. Cure yourself of this decease and you shall rise again.
Mazumdar M A Hamid Who wants to embrace Islam? It is a decease, a communicable one at that which must be eradicated like plague was eradicated.
Darvesh Sahil yes, Muslims are enjoying such ‘superiority’ all over the world. The constant barrage of kicks, punches and spits from the rest of the world is indeed a good indicator of Muslim ‘superiority’. May all Muslim nations
enjoy such good times till eternity!
Good joke. Keep it up.
Anyway, what kind of drugs do you use…..?
Mazumdar M A Hamid-Sir, It would be better not to say "Accursed Hindu". There are and have been great Hindu human beings. It takes no body nowhere except violence and hate and bloodshed.
I am sure you know that Muslim men are permitted to marry Christian and Jewish women without converting them. The Maullvis on the pulpit don’t tell this to this Muslims and keep the hate brooming. It is also ordained that the husband will not compelling the wife to convert to Islam.
Where does that bring us.
Kindly have compassionate view on all issues.
The Chinese ideology is at a 180 degree angle where does that lead Muslims and Pakistan.
So let us just tiptoe.
Darvesh Sahil abe laude we himdus till date have not attacked any country…and god forbid if we start invading your territory u ll wud b praying for mercy
Vineet Singh Gusain a sardar supporting hindus is only when he forgets the sacrifice of Sardar Jurnail Singh Bhindranwale and thousands more.
Mazumdar M A Hamid

First of all, Turkey is strong . They will survive. Secondly. China and Turkey is having competition in exporting to European countries. Chinese government won’t be help Turkey that much.
The whole industry of Turkey. They will support the country. No worries.
Mazumdar M A Hamid what is happening to muslims in China
Mazumdar M A Hamid There is no annihilation for embracing Islam. Whereas there are no untouchables in Islam. Every human being is respectable in Islam.

Keep day dreaming pigs. .. Your radicalism will be proven fatal to u. ..
What the author fails to disclose is the fact that most companies listed on BIST100 are not publicly owned companies. In fact, many of these companies have about 10 to 20 % of their shares publicly traded. Therefore, it is practically impossible to own a company by buying 10% of its shares, not to mention the real cost of such an acquisition will be much higher as share prices will instantly climb to astronomical values once the intend of the acquisitioner is known by the public.
But they dnt owe imf anything. Dnt judge by stock market.
@Mazumdar M A Hamid
ISLAMOPHOBIA is killing or flushing out Muslims from western countries to ARABIAN DESERTS.
Then dreaming of ruling the world imposing sharia law.
