| Swiss stage kebab boycott |
Swiss football fans have launched a national kebab boycott in response to Turkish violence following Switzerland's World Cup playoff in Istanbul.
Returning Swiss fans announced the boycott on the internet and, according to a local gastronomy association, have persuaded record numbers to join their boycott of Turkish food products.
But ironically, according to Swiss economists who say the boycott is working, most of the kebab stands are owned by Kurds.
Murat Karayilan, who owns the Joker Grill chain of kebab stands, said: "This is totally unfair. Over 90% of the kebab restaurants in Switzerland are owned by Kurds, and we obviously supported the Swiss side in the match against Turkey."
