ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the West was putting pressure on the Turkish lira, inflation and interest rates, but that these games would be thwarted after a re-run of Istanbuls mayoral election in June.

Ahead of the last election, the West tried to corner us by applying pressure on the currency, interest rates and inflation, Erdogan said on Saturday in a televised question and answer session with university students in Istanbul.

All these games will be thwarted once we get over the election, he said, after Turkeys election board ruled on a re-run of Marchs election, which was won by the main opposition candidate in a shock loss for Erdogans party.
