An unreasonable perspective from Justice and Development Party (AKP) Deputy Chairman Mehmet Özhaseki: “Bread could not be bought when it was 1 TL, it is 5 TL now, it can be bought very easily,” he said.
Here are Özhaseki's mocking like words: “Inflation may be a little high. Let me tell you my personal opinion. You couldn’t buy bread for 1 TL. But today you can buy it very easily for 5 TL. Increasing the purchasing power of people is valuable here. What could be bought with the minimum wage in 2002, what can be bought today? How many kilograms of meat was bought, how many kilograms of milk was bought, how many eggs were bought, how many liters of gasoline were bought, how much can be bought now? It has become three times, four times more affordable today,” he added.
