Turkish Shareholders Association Plans to Sue the Turkish Central Bank

I must say I throughly enjoyed the lively discussions here. It is obvious by now Mr. CuriousInvestor's arguments are put to test and failed pretty badly. That's not to say I personally do not respect his rights to voice his opinions or anything.
The merits of the export based growth model can be further discussed but IMO it represents a better alternative for Turkey that the current anemic policies that don't seem any more sustainable than the original TARP ideas in the U.S. I am hoping whatever market disruptions take place do not cause undue harm to the masses in Turkey that simply work hard and brave the conditions no matter what to make ends meet. It all starts with leadership and the upcoming local elections will be a great mid-term examination for the existing leadership roster.
Best wishes.
PS: Also hats off to Hadi for a very revealing set of comments with historical perspective, which is always illuminating.

Turkish Shareholders Association Plans to Sue the Turkish Central Bank

How comfortable is the author with this observation:
"...the pool of “hot-money” engulfing Turkish markets that is well over a hundred billion dollars and counting."
I have come across a wide variety of figures mostly revolving around 60 billion - a very big delta here.
