Tradesmen in Ulus, which is the most important economic region of the capital city, have been having a hard time lately. Most of the tradesmen in the historical Ulus Business Inn, which was opened in 1964, closed their shops. The legal status issue and the economic crisis regarding the inn have left the upper floors of the inn empty. Only the shops on the main street and the entrance floor work.
ANKARA IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ECONOMY CENTERS
An artisan inn in the historical Ulus Business Inn in the heart of Ankara leaves a inn. Difficult days are experienced in the historical building, which was one of the busiest inns of the region and was one of the most important places of the city economy. Both the recent economic contraction and the problems regarding the legal status of the inn deeply affected the tradesmen in the inn. 240 of nearly 300 shops in the inn are now closed.
"WE ARE REQUESTING THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR STATUS"
Tolga Soyalp, who has been jewelery for 17 years in the business house where the emptied shops are not rented again, noted that the problems with the legal status of the business house are also effective in this.

It transferred from the Retirement Fund to Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. Stores that are unable to do business and are abandoned are not rented again. During the return of ex-president Melih Gökçek, it was decided to demolish 2 times for our office and was canceled by court orders. We expect steps from the new Mayor Mansur Yavas to improve our situation."
"WE CAN'T PAY OUR RENTALS SINCE 4-5 MONTHS"
Mehmet Yakut, who has 47 years of tradesman experience of the historical Ulus Business Inn and worked in the tea house for the last 8 years, said that almost all tradesmen have been unable to pay their rents for 4-5 months. Yakut, "Every day the notifications are coming one after the other, no one is interested in us," he said.
EVERYDAY GOES EVER MORE
Şevki Aslan, one of the 30-year-old shopkeepers of the business house, evaluated the closing of the shop by the shopkeepers with the following words: "I have been working here for 30 years, the tea shop for the past 8 years is getting worse every day."
