Turkish President tells people to trust in God as lira falls
Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan has told the country's citizens to trust in God as their currency tumbled 18% against the dollar to a new low on Friday. The lira is the world's worst performing major currency, losing more than 40% this year. The US recently imposed sanctions on two of ErdoÄan's ministers over Turkey's detention of an American pastor.
