Following a warning from Ankara's Atakent municipality, the signboards of "erotic stores" have been changed to "love stores," following a reported demand by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, daily Cumhuriyet has reported.

"The municipality warned us that the prime minister was feeling disturbed because of 'erotic store' signboards," one of the shopkeepers said, adding that the local police had warned him twice that he would face legal action if the signs were not changed.
