| Jun 27, 2018 at 11:03 | comment | added | user15657 | @armatita There is a misunderstanding here. I say that 2018 is better than 2001, but this is not a fair comparison. I agree with your first comment. Erdogan uses this unfair comparison for his propaganda. Maybe my phrasing in the answer is not good, I'll try to update it. | |

But again you seem to be looking for some kind of unique phenomena that puts Turkey apart from everyone else. Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Haiti suffered unimaginable death toll from natural disasters but all of them continued their positive trend in economic growth nonetheless. Uruguay had a banking crisis that put them on par with Turkey in the early 2000s (by GDPpc) and today they almost double it. I'm not trying to antagonize you but how do you expect your country to develop if you keep believing in a government sponsored fairy tale? | |

| Jun 27, 2018 at 8:45 | comment | added | armatita | "Indeed as an opponent I even think so..." Yes but that is probably the result of the way that information arrived to you. The GDP curve (per capita) you've linked in your answer is the same for many, many others nations. At the turn of the century there was an economic boom. There is nothing particularly notable about Turkey's economic development. Erdogan saying otherwise is just an act of propaganda. Just use that same World Bank Data to check for yourself (link). | |
