In Ankara’s Ulus district, the nightclubs located right next to the First Parliament building, which have caused visual pollution in the historic texture for years, were completely shut down and locked up in a massive operation. With the decision that brought an end to an era in the capital, 20 entertainment venues in the area were sealed indefinitely.

The end of the road has come for the pavilions that have been operating for years in the iconic and historic center of Ankara's Ulus. Due to their location at a very close distance to the First Parliament building, the venues, which both caused public reactions and created serious visual and environmental pollution in the area, were completely sealed under the "My Family Is Safe" operation coordinated by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

TEAMS PRESSED THE BUTTON 

Within the scope of the wide-ranging investigation launched into allegations of prostitution, obscenity, drugs, and child abuse, the security forces, who pressed the button, permanently ended the operations of 20 pavilions in the historic area.

THERE IS CONCRETE EVIDENCE 

It was reported that the investigation file contains concrete evidence that children and minors were directed to illegal activities without regard to their age and developmental levels. It was determined that the venues paved the way for abuse acts and illegal organizations under the name of "paid social companionship service."

THE END OF AN ERA 

This radical change around the First Parliament, located at the center of the capital's historic identity, was considered the closing of an era in Ulus. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reported that the judicial and administrative process regarding the closed businesses is being meticulously continued.
