Erdoğan: "The informal economy is also a kind of corruption"

There has never even been the smallest question that Turkey 's current government would show the slightest tolerance towards corruption in either the public or private sector, said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan yesterday. "Corruption is as old as human history, and as the economy has gone global, so has corruption," Erdoğan told a meeting in Ankara on a new anti-corruption initiative. Erdoğan also criticized the private sector over the informal economy, calling this another kind of corruption.
