Operation in Syria to have very limited impact on Turkish economy

Turkey's military operation against a U.S.-backed PYD/PKK in Syria's Afrin region will have a very limited impact on the Turkish economy and budget, Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Şimşek said on Monday.

"Our investors should be at ease, the impact will be limited, the operation will be brief and it will reduce the terror risk to Turkey in the period ahead," Şimşek said at a ceremony in Ankara.
