The New Arab
About this episode

This week on The New Arab Voice, we examine the problems with inflations and the Turkish lira, and President Erdogan's dangerous obsession with low interest rates. We ask how the problems came about, what it means for the country's population, and whether it might threaten the president's rule. Featuring interview with Enver Erkan (@raenver) and Asli Aydintasbas (@asliaydintasbas).

And then, Rosie McCabe (@RosieMcCabe3) speaks with the organisers and artists participating in the upcoming Syrian Arts and Culture Festival (SACF).

For more information about the SACF, and a full listing of events, you can visit there website: https://sacf.art/
