ISTANBUL – Turkey’s state of emergency began Thursday with a top official assuring the country that it would not harm the economy, democracy, or scare away investors, even as European nations expressed misgivings.
After a failed coup attempt last weekend, the government has initiated a wide-ranging crackdown, detaining and firing judges, military leaders and academics, culminating in a state of emergency that will be voted on by parliament Thursday.
“Life of ordinary people and businesses will go un-impacted, uninterrupted, business will be as usual,” Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said on Twitter.
One international ratings agency, Standard & Poor’s, however, downgraded Turkey’s credit rating deeper into “junk” status citing the coup and resulting political turmoil, causing the country’s currency to fall and stocks plunge Thursday.
State media, meanwhile, has announced the detention of another 32 judges and two military officers, bring the number arrested to nearly 10,000.
