Minister Işıkhan's statement on the 900 billion lira fund: He responded to the claims

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkish Labour and Social Security Minister Vedat Işıkhan denied claims that the 900 billion lira Unemployment Insurance Fund was used to finance liquidated investment funds, stating that "not a single kuruş of ours is tied up in any fund." The denial follows scrutiny over how the fund's resources were allocated after several investment funds were wound up. The fund's size makes its investment decisions material for Turkish financial markets, and the minister's remarks signal that the government is defending its stewardship of the assets. Watch for further disclosures on where the fund's holdings sit and for any parliamentary or regulatory scrutiny of the liquidation process.
