I also think this time is different than for eg the 1997 Asian crisis when back there they emerging markets had lot of dept. this time around only Turkey has some kind of domestic credit bubble and that's the reason why they had to intervene and stop the fall in turkish lira as they have borrowed against the US dollar so if US dollar is more expensive this hurts them.
