Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan threw another wild card by replacing a top minister during early Thursday morning in Asia.

This time, Turkish President Erdogan appointed Nureddin Nebati as Turkey's minister of Treasury and Finance. In doing so, Turkey’s Boss accepted the resignation of Lutfi Elvan, the last top official seen to adhere to the orthodox policy in a government gripped by a currency meltdown, per Reuters.
