Istanbul Beyazıt was on the agenda after a 'Jews not allowed' sign was hung at the entrance of a bookstore located there. 

According to a report in Türkiye Gazetesi, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) decided not to renew the lease agreement with the bookstore owner who had hung a 'Jews not allowed' sign on their shop. Following this, the bookstore closed down.

The sign at the very entrance of the shop featured the text "Jews not allowed / Yahudiler giremez" in both Turkish and English.
