President Tayyip Erdogan said Turkish and U.S. officials would conduct efforts until April to resolve a dispute between the two countries over Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 defence systems, broadcaster NTV reported on Tuesday.
Asked how a solution would be found to the row, Erdogan told reporters during his return from a trip to Qatar on Monday: "There is a process that is ongoing until April. Our defence and foreign ministers will carry out these efforts. We need to see where we get with these efforts."
Turkish interest rates and inflation are on the path to desired levels "despite all the pressures" and both will fall to single digits in 2020, President Erdoğan said.
Speaking to reporters on a return flight from Qatar, Erdogan said the fall in rates and inflation will be permanent, adding that once both figures hit single digits, the economy and currency in Turkey will be "very different."
