all these figures i spoke to gareth jenkins of the institute for security and development policy in istanbul and i asked him what to take his economic decline could mean for the country's political stability. well fortunately for president are there any doesn't have any real domestic challenges that he is facing in terms on the national level but there are local elections coming in march next year people do tend to vote and so he very very local elections coming in march next year and people do tend to vote on national issues as well so it's going to be a bit of a challenge for him i think going to fence local elections in the biggest grip on parties so. that i don't think he really you know risks losing his position at the same time things are going relatively badly in a lot of areas in turkey and i think for aggro and he's desperate for an achievement and he's desperate for syria not to look like a setback but here we are also and for us we may see him being more aggressive i guess just very very briefly germany says that it has a strategic interest in sound economic development in turkey
