When you give an additional 10 thousand TL raise to the minimum wage, they don't say let me spend 3 thousand TL of this and save 7 thousand TL.

AKP Deputy Chairman Mustafa Elitaş: "When you give a minimum wage worker an additional 10 thousand TL raise, he doesn't say, 'Let me spend 3 thousand TL and save 7 thousand TL'. Since entirely of the 10 thousand TL will go to meet needs that he deems lacking, it will upset the price balance and put pressure on inflation." (Channel 7)
