Noting that 250 kebab shops and restaurant merchants will take part in the closure action, which is a warning about the imminent danger, Katmerci also emphasized that the member companies of the Gaziantep Chamber of Commerce also support them, saying, “We will take carry out such action together with members of GTO. If the market does not go down to the desired level, we will meet with all interested parties and announce our decision,” he said.
Noting that the rate of increase in meat is very high, Katmerci said: “Under normal conditions, there should not have been an increase. However, when issues like raising the minimum wage, taxes and withholdings came into play, the increase became inevitable. The amount of the increase should have been in the band of 360 TL. However, the figure determined is in the band of 440 TL. This will force both merchants and citizens. To avoid prices, the authorities must take all measures, especially supports. People should be able to take a kilo of meat home with them,” he said.
