Turkish police were filmed removing business billboards that were written in Arabic, Newarab reported.
The case happened in the city of Adana, where in the first days of July, the policemen who undertook this action were seen. No justification was given as to why the Arabic ads were removed, but according to the medium, anti-refugee and anti-Arab language has increased in Turkey in recent years.
This is because the country is struggling with an economic crisis, and at the same time it hosts over 3.5 million Syrian refugees.
Last year, a children's T-shirt with an Arabic inscription became a topic of discussion in one of the popular Turkish brands. It sparked a backlash, forcing the store to issue an apologetic response.
