Non-Muslims oppose Grand Bazaar opening on Sundays

"The Grand Bazaar, the Mısır Çarşısı (Spice Bazaar), the Sahaflar Çarşısı (second-hand book bazaar) and Mahmutpaşa Bazaar -- important shopping centers for locals and foreign tourists -- will be open on Sundays starting April 8, according to a decision from the İstanbul Governor’s Office and the İstanbul Chamber of Commerce.
Non-Muslims who do not want to work on Sunday because of their religious beliefs, as well as some tradesmen, oppose this decision."
