A lot of debt is held in foreign currency and imports just got a whole lot more expensive in a handful of days. This is a serious blow, especially if Turks lose confidence in the lira. I can assure you that Erdogan is getting nervous. He can talk about boycotting Apple and buying Samsung all he wants; both phones are now unaffordable for a lot of people who were planning to buy one. Those people aren't going to be terribly happy about Erdogan's flirt with Russian missile systems.
