The Turkish lira has lost 30% of its value in three days and has lost more than 40% of its value against the dollar since the beginning of the year as investors fear Erdogan's loss of central bank independence and worsening already tense relations with the US.
The weakening of the lira against the dollar intensified especially after US President Donald Trump announced his decision to impose sanctions on the arrest of American priest Andrew Bronson, who has been held in Ankara since 2016 and charged with espionage.
It should be noted that today the Turkish lira has recovered and is gaining about 10% against the dollar.
The Turkish investigation into social networking opened on the grounds that the United States and other countries had launched "economic terrorism" against the state and warned that it would take punitive measures against media and social networks aimed at weakening Turkish assets.
