Deputy PM: Turkey Committed to Market Economy

Turkey is committed to market economy, the country's Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said Thursday. 
"Life of ordinary people and businesses will go unaffected, uninterrupted, business will be as usual. We're committed to a market economy," Simsek tweeted. 
Simsek's comments came after Turkey announced Wednesday a nationwide three-month state of emergency after a failed coup that caused the martyrdom of hundreds and injured more than 1,500 others last week, according to Anadolu Agency (AA). 
"It won't be any different from those imposed by our European partners in France, in Germany and in Belgium after relatively smaller scale threats," Simsek said. 
"I'm confident Turkey will come out of this with much stronger democracy, better functioning market economy and enhanced investment climate," he added on Twitter. 
Simsek said Turkey remains committed to fighting international terrorism, including ISIS. 
"State of emergency won't hinder the war on terror, he said.
