Can't call that surprising - a major fast food corporation to support government forces...
It's obvious who is working together and why. Think back to the starting point of the meanwhile nationwide protests, back to gezi park beeing threatened with extinction by a shopping mall. A quite similar example of the turkish government representing corporate interests and not the people's.
The only real answer to this is beeing picked up by fellow twitter users under the hashtag #boycottburgerking
Spread the word and share this to the world! Boycott Burger King! Show them, that we don't want to eat their shit! Not even for free!!!
Most of these fast-food outlets are franchises, under local management. That particular one seems to have an unusual manager, or was put under pressure by police, but s/he isn't the same person who runs the outlet in other places.
AntwortenLöschenI wouldn't be surprised if they are closed down by Burger-King head-office for making a political statement.
