-In the early 2000s, the country emerged from the crisis with Kemal Derviş reforms, there is an EU story, the currency is more valuable than necessary, and Turkey is ready to spend. Again, during those days, civil servants, especially retirees, were constantly in Europe. Those going to Europe would buy fuel cheaply on the Greek side and cross the border. Retired teachers couldn't keep up with sightseeing tours. Among celebrities, a craze for buying houses in Miami had started.


-2018-2021. This time, Bulgarians and Iranians would come to Turkey on weekends for shopping without hesitation. They even emptied out pharmacies and left. Wealthy Arabs and Iranians were collecting real estate for dual citizenship. British and Russian people who had never left their villages were vacationing here, dancing with animators, sometimes for free or a little more expensive. Citizens who could "preserve their exchange rate" stayed positive in capital transfers, but most couldn't and suffered serious welfare losses.
-By 2026, the Turkish Lira is again overvalued, and anyone with a green passport, as shameless as they are, would spend every weekend in Europe. During holidays, there are no middle or upper-income people left in the homeland. Turkish real estate purchases abroad hit a peak; money is flowing out, and inside, only summer house owners, retirees, recent graduates, and those laundering money through Çeşme with bottle service remain.
Time passes, lives end, and the only thing that doesn't change is the Turkish Lira, which cannot be balanced either by the dollar or the DXY, fluctuating between being very cheap or very expensive.
