Turkey: Erdogan drops retirement age requirement for millions of Turks
ANKARA, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan eliminated a retirement age requirement on Wednesday in a move that allows more than 2 million workers to retire immediately, less than six months before an election.
The presidential announcement came during a Wednesday news conference on the popular policy move.
Erdogan's ruling AK Party delivered a hefty hike to the minimum wage last week as part of a campaign to win back support eroded by inflation, a fall in the lira, and a sharp drop in living standards.
