Jaffa Cakes may become the property of the government

[JohnF]

Been hearing rumours recently that some high profile "seizures" were in the pipeline and lo and behold, HDN broke the story today - Yıldız Holding, who own Ülker are being investigated over links to FETO.  They of course have denied this.

Just think, if they do seize Yıldız, every time you buy a packet of Jaffa Cakes in Tesco, Asda etc you'd then be putting money in the wee fella's pocket (indirectly of course).

What a wheeze this state of emergency is - fourteen billion lira (oops) DOLLARS so far in seized company assets.  And the best part about it for the government is that any loans, mortgages etc these companies had have to be paid by the original owners!  The seized companies are considered to debt free.  Erdonomics at its best.

       Yep, the wee fella has written himself a blank cheque. If you were looking for a country to relocate

       your business to, would you choose Turkey.??

So the government are going to sponsor a bit of Israel?

      Oy vey. !

Well I hope they don't take my McVitie digestives which have only recently been available in supermarkets in Turkey. 

[JohnF]

Are you kidding?  If they seize Yildiz Holdings you'll get the whole McVities range in every bakkal from Marmaris to Mersin and all points in between!

(Yildiz Holdings own McVities)
