Turkish Minister of Finance Mehmet Simsek said he contacted with the international finance communities after the Gezi Park incidents.
Speaking to a private television channel, Simsek said there were too much disinformation and distortion related to Gezi Park.
"I contacted with the international finance communities when I saw the disinformation. If we remained passive, the disinformation could have created serious havoc in the markets," said the minister.
Stating that he held teleconferences to relieve the international funds, Simsek said "I was contacted by two international investment banks. The former was for the all investors in Europe and United States. I explained what has been going on for a long time and what we would do to soothe."
Simsek said they analysed the outputs of the stock market and a large part of the outputs are the short-term entrants.
"The amount of the output money from the stock market is $ 1.1 billion in the first week of the incidents. So the output is very limited" said Simsek.
