PRESSSTATEMENT

Today, an inspection was conducted at the workplace of a colleague of ours, who is a liquor store owner, by officials affiliated with the Ministry of Trade. During the inspection, it was determined that 0.5L of water was being sold for 10 TL, and on the grounds of "exorbitant pricing", a fine was issued.and a report was filed on the grounds ofthis situation was deemedas 'unfair gain'.Our colleague was informed

that they have the right to appeal within 10 days,and furthermore, for the past 3 monthsof retrospectiverecords.It was stated that the invoices would be examined.

We are publiclyaskingtheauthorities:

Do youplan to conduct the same inspections at airportsas well?Do you see?What kind of inspections do airportsundergo for the exorbitant prices charged for a bottle of wateror a cup of coffee? Or areinspections only conducted forsmall businesses in localneighborhoods?is being applied?

The Republic of Türkiye is governed both constitutionally and in practice by a mixed economy. In a country where free market conditions are in effect, in an environment where costs are increasing every day, wIt is unacceptable for smallbusiness owners to be faced with accusations of "unfairprofit" basedon price tags.Rent, electricity, water, personnel expenses, taxes, and product supply costs are being ignored.

In the pastThere are monopolyproducts produced by the state with the pricewritten on them. Inspectionswere conducted according to the conditionsof that period.would be. Today,however, despite the mention of a free market,smalltradespeople are under heavy pressureas if a different economic system were being applied.

Tradespeople are strugglingto survive. This approach,Small businesses are being suffocated with fines instead of being protected. This is the bleeding wound of the tradesmen.

If this mentality continues, in the near future there will be no small tradesmen left.

Respectfully announced to the public.
