Turkey is 10 years behind its target

AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had announced in his party's 2011 manifesto that the target for per capita national income was 25 thousand dollars. However, looking at the data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), Turkey has not been able to make any progress in the last 10 years. Former Chief Economist Hakan Kara brought this situation to the agenda on his social media account.
