Turkey are slowly trying to break their ties with Europe and build closer alliances with China, Iran, Russia etc. This is why Turkey is facing this economic attack from America.

And Erdogan desperately wants to remain on his glorious Sultan seat. =)

I agree with you.
In Venezuela we suffered that economic attack. With the difference that the government does not know how to defend itself.
And there is a lot of corruption, as in Iran.
