ALEPPO, Syria — Anger is prevailing among Syrians in the northwest province of Idlib due to the current inflation as the prices of goods depend on the Turkish lira’s exchange rate against the US dollar, which has now depreciated to approximately 14 liras to the greenback, as of the time of this writing.
The so-called Syrian Salvation Government affiliated with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Idlib had adopted the Turkish lira as an official currency in its areas of control in June 2020, instead of the Syrian pound.
