Title: Eid al-Fitr Holiday Extended.
Post by: KKOB on June 10, 2016, 17:23:42 PM

The holiday was planned to officially start on July 5 and end on July 7. However, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım recently signed a circular declaring that July 4 (a Monday) and July 8 (a Friday) would also be a holiday, effectively creating a nine-day public holiday including the two weekends.

Lummy a nine day - vote winning - public holiday could have a big effect on government and council services, and particularly for banking services.
