"Turkey : Bulgaria bans shuttle trade from Laleli
May 31, 2006
Laleli district of Istanbul has become a major ‘shuttle trade’ centre of Turkey, where the individuals literally transport goods in their luggage to destination countries.
Recognizing this problem, Bulgaria has finally banned products from neighbouring Laleli across the border, to enter the country markets.
Laleli Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (LASIAD) Head, Ayhan Karahan, confirmed that the Bulgarian authorities had been informing the Turkish government about this unofficial trade for a while now."
