Seven Years Later - Are Interests in Turkey Unislamic?

I notice that 2014 is the last you visited this issue or article. That's surprising since so much has happened it Turkey since.

One interpretation I have involves the SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE notion in Ancient Egypt and Biblical Israel. Regarding "Sultan" Erdogan's "Reign" as "President" it appears that Erdogan is at least unconsciously moved against raising the Interest Rates of his national bank in order to stop Inflation on the devaluation of the Turkish Lira. Did or does Turkey need to wait Seven Years for Turks to suffer their Famine in order to prove that Islamist Erdogan is the cause of Turkey's Economic and Political Disaster? I do not know, however, from which year to start counting/ Were there seven years of Plenty before? Going back 14 years from now brings us to 2007. Whatever the chronology of Erdogan's Reign as Prime Minister or President, I think we can now at least recognize him as an Islamist, and of the Muslim Brotherhood variety.
