"Of course I like the company for which I work, and I am happy to be working here. But I have some doubts related to its (Trump Towers') name. As you know, there are residences in Trump Towers. For example, if my customers, or me who wants to buy, or if another person that I know wants to buy a place here, I wouldn't direct him or her (to buy a place at Trump Towers), I would advise them to buy a residence somewhere else. And I'm going to do that."

STORYLINE:
Employees at Trump Towers mall in Istanbul expressed their discomfort on Thursday at remarks made by US presidential hopeful Donald Trump, about barring all Muslims from entering the United States.
Ozan Emen, a 20-year-old sale consultant at a men's clothing store, said the comments were a reason for him to quit his job.
Another Turkish Muslim working in the mall at the base of Trump Towers, Oguzhan Kilic, said although he's happy with this job he wouldn't advise people to buy apartments within the building due to its name.
Trump's comments have been widely condemned both in the US and internationally.
