Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that "Turkey will not bow before those who exploit the world for personal gain."

“On paper the AK party was founded by 60 of its members, but its true founders are the Turkish people,” Erdogan said. “Some are allegedly threatening our economy with sanctions, monetary course, interests and inflation. We've seen your game and we dare you.”

He stressed that Turkey never bowed before those who exploit the world for their own gain and prosperity.
