OPPO’s Tuzla factory closed quietly

[helsinkiandrew]

> The dismissed workers started to protest in front of the factory, protesting the massacre of workers.

By "massacre" do they mean the mass sacking or is there something to this story I don't understand.

[scori]

Sounds like bad English translation. There are several other lines that does not make sense.

Suggest fixing the title, eg 'Oppo has pulled their factory out of Turkey'.

[pesfandiar]

Or "Türkiye" as the country is now known officially.

[dang]

Thanks - fixed. (Submitted title was "Oppo has pulled their factory off turkey")

[karmakaze]

Yeah I was confused why there would have been a dependency on the bird.

[ksec]

Title should be OPPO’s Tuzla factory, whose opening was announced by AKP’s Mustafa Varank, closed quietly

Fixed now- thanks.

I'm continued to be surprised that anyone still does business in Turkey. I can only assume that there are some shady shenanigans going on that still give reasons for companies to be there.

Turkey has more freedom, human rights, and rule of law than does Egypt (where production is reportedly moving). I know, the Sisi regime hasn’t set a high bar, but it’s ridiculous to frame this as anything but a business decision.

Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic flamewar (or on flamewar tangents generally). It will just lead to hell and we're trying to avoid that here.

Sure..a manufacturer from china, which is renowned for their perfect worker right regulations with zero corruption, pulling out of Turkey and start a place in Egypt, which is also a great place for democracy and worker rights, etc. /S This narrow sight is killing me.

Authoritarian regime rife with corruption that can easily be bribed and bypass any regulations as needed with western protections -- perfect for any crony capitalist. The real amazement is that they were ever allowed to be part of NATO.
