Serap Gokcebay, PR and communications manager at McDonald’s Turkey, explained that the crisis meant a fall in consumer demand and purchasing power.
Since opening its first restaurant in Turkey in 1986, McDonald’s has developed a 111-outlet strong chain and employs more than 4,000 workers.
The restaurants, eleven of which were situated in Istanbul, were closed on Wednesday.
