The AKP government recognizable with its “starting war” against everything, eventual has “starts a war to markets.” 
 
It is announced that they will “bring markets to account” for the prices by saying, “inflation decreases, interest decreases but prices in groceries don’t decrease in one way.” 
 
While the AKP government is starting a war to markets, they take the prices of district bazaars as measurement.
 
The markets are being accused with discourses like, “prices in bazaars decreased, but in markets didn’t decrease.”  
 
It’s right. Prices in markets didn’t decrease. 
 
Moreover, there are “over-all struggle with inflation” sheets on their windows but this spiel is just on sheets! 
 
This “over-all struggle with inflation” submission of markets couldn’t take place on labels yet!
God knows they hang these sheets on their windows to seem pretty to the government but this struggle of them couldn’t be transcend of hanging sheets on windows.
 
Maybe we couldn’t see the effect of this on labels because of the inflation didn’t really decrease, or maybe because of the excessive dividend account of markets are causing to the bazaar and market price differences.
 
I can’t say that I’m not wondering how they will bring markets to account.
 
Or is there a change in the economic system that is applied in our country without our knowledge?
What can we do if the markets brought to account say, “only this price is salvaging me, go to the bazaar if you want to get it cheaper.”
 
The bazaar artisans pay a little money for the place they set up their bench and they don’t employ many employees but are the markets so?
 
How is it expected that the prices of markets are close with bazaar prices when we consider the paid rents for shops and the expenses of the employees which are employed of markets.
 
According to us, the AKP government has begun from a wrong point with starting a war to markets.
 
Isn’t it better if they research the reality of the decrease of inflation, instead of the comparison of market and bazaar prices?  
 
Probably the government thought that the inflation has decreased when the markets hang “over-all struggle with inflation” sheets on their windows. 
 
We hope that they don’t think that markets enter into the opposing party’s service and try to tempting citizens.
 
It should be realized that the inflation will not decrease with a command that comes from the wing of the government and measures should be taken according to this. 
 
We don’t regard as possible that markets will take place near opposing party against the government that unburdens them from a burden like plastic bags.
