Kelebek Korse, one of the oldest stores in Beyoğlu on İstiklal Avenue shut down yesterday, December 10, due to a warrant of distrain according to the new change in the code of obligations.

Avramoğlu made his last sales in the store. He talked about the store which he took over from his father and his father had taken over from his father. He stated that was the last store which represents the shopping culture of Beyoğlu. He also said “Unfortunately, we have to evacuate the store because of debt burden. These kind of stores need protecting. I am going to search for a new store to continue working.”

A petition for the annulment of the change in Turkish code of obligations was organized in front of the store.
