As the holy month of Ramadan begins, Turks are embracing it with a mixture of joy and worry due to unprecedented economic challenges gripping their nation.
Rising costs and soaring inflation have compelled many to tighten their belts, navigating through financial strains that have surged over the past year.
Pelin Ozturk, a homemaker, living in Ankara's bustling Kizilay district, said her family, like many others in Türkiye, has to scale back traditional celebrations amid the country's skyrocketing inflation.
