MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Late on Friday, Turkish lira plunged by more than 3.5 percent following reports of alleged military coup in Ankara.
"The following measures are taken to maintain the efficient functioning of financial markets: the Central Bank will provide the necessary liquidity to banks on a limitless basis," the press release read.
The coup attempt was suppressed by early Saturday, with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim stating that all coup supporters were identified and would be apprehended as the country was returning to normal life.
Over 260 people were killed and hundreds were injured during the events, while nearly 3,000 people have already been detained.
