ANKARA, Turkey (PNN) - April 21, 2018 - After Venezuela, Germany, Austira, and The Netherlands prudently repatriated a substantial portion (if not all) of their physical gold held at the New York Fed or other western central banks in recent years, this morning Turkey also announced that it has decided to repatriate all its gold stored in the Fascist Police States of Amerika Federal Reserve and deliver it to the Istanbul Stock Exchange. It won't be the first time Turkey has asked the NY Fed to ship the country's gold back: in recent years, Turkey repatriated 220 tons of gold from abroad, of which 28.7 tons was brought back from the FPSA last year.
