Thus begins the Turkish century

However, in the century of Turkey, long lines for the part of citizens, unpaid debts, the cost of living decreases. Citizens looking for cheap fruits and vegetables in the night markets try to boil their pots by buying grains in the markets. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced Turkey’s Century projects to the public on October 28 last year.
