While the high prices of food and beverages at airports have long been a topic of discussion, an incident at Ankara Esenboğa Airport has become a hot topic on social media. Kadir Ulusoy, a farmer from Çankırı, wanted to buy water from a kiosk in the terminal when his flight was delayed. However, he expressed his reaction upon seeing that he had paid 80 TL for a bottle of water.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY?"
In the moments recorded on his mobile phone, Ulusoy expressed his anger by saying, "Friends, look, this water is eighty lira. Eighty TL! It's a shame, what has happened to our country?"
"WHOSE HAND IS IN WHOSE POCKET?"
Reacting to the uncontrolled rise in prices, Ulusoy called out to the authorities, saying, "Let an official come here and respond. Can there be this much lawlessness? Whose hand is in whose pocket? Where is this money going?"
"THE COST OF THIS WATER IS 2 LIRA"
Ulusoy emphasized that the cost of bottled water is much lower, stating, "The cost of this water is two lira. Earn five lira, earn ten lira, but it can't be this much. A thousand percent profit is haram. What will happen to this nation?"
