This will be a huge development for bitcoin if it pans out to be true that Turkey is finally adopting it as a legal tender. Because, a country like Turkey will always want to oversee and guide the movement of liquidity within its space and the nature of bitcoin goes contrary to this.

No, it won't happen anytime soon or it probably won't happen at all while Erdogan is in charge. Are you sure that this statement will change so quickly after Erdogan made it?

"I want all my citizens to keep their savings in our own money, to run all their business with our own money, and I recommend this," Erdogan told business leaders in a speech in Istanbul.

Well, let's watch and see what is going to happen but for all we know this might just be another rumor going around. I read on this forum and on few crypto news portal about few countries decision on adpting bitcoin as legal tender but even after months, I am not hearing anything after El Salvador's decision; also recently India president's twitter handle was hacked and used to announce about making bitcoin legal in India by that hacker.

Everyone wants bulls while they can only fry problems like this pop up to make the hype grow again. But Russia actually caused the price of bitcoin to fall after China had previously banned cryptocurrencies. They are not wrong about what they want to see the price of bitcoin grow stronger, but they may not be able to accept bitcoin that have lost so much in price.
