More than 5000 people protested a week ago in Istanbul against the lira's devaluation and the decrease in the purchasing power, marking the first major congregation in light of the problems that have plagued Turkey's economy for months. Protestors called for the government's resignation.

The Turkish lira hit fresh lows on Thursday after the central bank fired the latest salvo in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's "economic war of independence" by cutting interest rates for the fourth successive month. 

The main rate decreased from 14 to 15% in the face of an annual inflation rate that surpassed 20% and is expected to climb even higher over the next few weeks.
