Istanbul municipality removes shopboards with ''less than 75% non-Turkish'' composition

[Egyptian]

Infidels, how dare they remove the Quranic script?

Anyway, last time I've seen Aksaray was full of Arabic signs and shopboards, I don't know if it's still the same, but I won't find it soon because I don't plan to revisit that shithole place.

Where is the Quranic script u mongol?

[Kamal900]

I read it

It makes it even more dumb

You know, more than 95% of all the signs and boards here are written in both Arabic and English, and yet, we don't do things like these. Man, they're so sensitive about the whole thing.

Arabic script I mean, it's a holy script.

Arabic script I mean, it's a holy script.

it says kebab or something roasted.. if u wanna expell them, then do it send them back to their country but without insult.

btw it's incredible how much arabs infiltrated the commercial world in Istanbul, a lot of shops now belong to them, sometimes with arabic only signs outside,

i was saying this the other day, absolutely right to do so, even if done from that direction.

In the touristic part of Istanbul, many Syrians opened up businesses serving Arab tourists with only Arabic shopboards. Many Turks stopped visiting those places simply because it now feels like an alien place.

Only ignorants in Turkey think there is smth holy about Arabic script. In Arab countries, they publish erotic and sex stories using Arabic script. I am sure if you show those texts to some ignorants in Turkey, they would save them as holy scripts. Arabic script is the national script of Arabs and nothing more.

i know..near taksim is already filled with changes and guided tour shops with flashy signs in arabic only.
Last year i was at Sapanca Gölü and it has practically become an Arab only estate place. you go on the main caddesi on the lakeside and all you see are rich arabs with their swarms of Wives and kids and i was surprised when i saw Satlik and kiralik signs in arabic only targeted to arabs. some are so rich they just buy a house there because they can.

Taksim and around is full Arabic, some refugees and some tourists. Turks are leaving the area. That looks like some place in the Middle East actually.
According to estimates, in Istanbul there are currently unsold 1,8 million houses newly constructed by contruction companies very active in Turkey. They try to sell them to Arabs even offering citizenship should they buy real estate, with some condition in amounts etc.

Yeah it kills me to see it. Bad thing is that government is dependent on Arab money. Turkey is in deficit for years and they find solution in selling real estate to Arabs. Government even recently passed a bill to encourage real estate purchases, now anyone who buys about 300.000$ worth real estate is given citizenship. Yes this is real.

In where i live all real estate agents use Arabic signs, even though not much Arabs live here.
