This is actually wrongI posted facts , not opinions . Facts can be false , not wrong . Since AKP came to power , Turkey ' s GDP has always been one of the highest in EuropeSource ? Graphs ? Data ? Turkey grew 4 . 8 percent in the first quarter of 2016 Blatant lie . Look at the data below . It ' s less than 1 percent . growth Minimum wage has gone up considerably in 2016 CHP forced AKP ' s hand in the last election . Minimum wage is still too low . Speaking of which , AKP is the biggest supporter of ' contract ' workers who has no benefits or job security at all . inflation was around 6070 % when AKP came to power now it ' s around 10 % This number is meaningless unless you show what is used for inflation calculation . AKP pranksters always choose that forsaken vegetable to calculate inflation , whereas things like technology , meat , transportation increase dramatically . Turkey is also one of the few nations in Europe that doesn ' t owe money to IMFThis also doesn ' t mean shit . Foreign debt is meaningless but if you are seeking a meaning anyway , Turkey is 26 th out of ~ 200 countries ranked by foreign debt .
