Turkish president says that buying foreign currency means 'surrender to devil'
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turkish people on Tuesday not to "divert our money to foreign currency."
Addressing a conference of his ruling party supporters in the capital, he also renewed a call for Turks to convert their dollars into the Turkish lira, to help strengthen the currency.
"You're Turkish, you'll walk along your way with the Turkish Lira," Erdogan told the conference in Ankara,
The Turkish lira has nosedived in value in the past week over concerns about Erdogan's economic policies and after the United States slapped sanctions on Turkey angered by the continued detention of an American pastor.
